Perfect being is a psychological reality. Faith does not entail religion. Sartre pronounced himself an atheist, but wrote extensively about the problem of bad faith. You put your faith in others every day. The problems begin when you put your faith in systems, rather than subjects (read: Worlds). Make faith-investing a conscious process. What about this Subject am I taking/acquiescing to on faith? vis what I am taking as manifest (read: System). Faith in Subject is good, and in System, not so much. All Subject is good, and all System is for sale. Everything else is pronunciation and posturing.

I love the concept of "faith-investing" and making it conscious. I believe that bringing consciousness to any choice makes the choice better; especially when it is something so deeply entrenched like faith.

Also, I feel this idea has merit in the realm of Entrepreneurship... In some ways it equates to risk. We can blindly take risks or we can carefully take risks. Realizing that there is an element of faith behind all decisions, being aware of "faith-investing" may make us less blind to the risks we take and allow us to be careful instead.
