From what I understand, declaring a faith is not required in the major Eastern religions (Ways). Because the Faith board attracts people who follow a Western monotheistic theology, I think there is a legitimate argument to be made to discontinue providing a platform for people to claim religious exclusivity. It is not supportive, and is, perhaps, destabilizing.
Faith does not equate to spirituality.
But you already know that.
