Perhaps while viewed through a limited scope.
But it's also the precursor for innovation, and the drive behind automation. Without it we'd still be plowing fields by hand for a significantly smaller yield.
I'd place my bet on administrative bloat hogging too many resources. Making teachers move on to more lucrative professions because teaching isn't worth all the headaches it entails for what they are bringing home at the end of the day.
Richmond's out of his room, he's supposed to be in his room, he's not in his room. Why is he out of his room?
You're correct, but only through the modern bastardization of the terms. Beliefs and faith aren't interchangeable, they are different things. Just because people claim faith doesn't mean they have it.

Belief…is the insistence that the truth is what one would ‘lief’ or (will or) wish to be…Faith is an unreserved opening of the mind to the truth, whatever it may turn out to be. Faith has no preconceptions; it is a plunge into the unknown. Belief clings, but faith let’s go…faith is the essential virtue of science, and likewise of any religion that is not self-deception
