    Is it possible that faith, which we are treating as the defining
    characteristic of religion, is really more characteristic of western
    thought and culture? Western religion tends to stress salvation
    through the embrace of certain concepts, beliefs, or dogmas, and
    puts heavy emphasis on the word, written or otherwise.  This may not
    be characteristic of all religions. In the Zen Buddhist tradition,
    for example, one is exhorted not to have faith, but rather to have
    doubt, to keep a "beginner's mind," or  to "just don't know."
