Faith is not a strong belief. Belief is thinking something is true regardless of how contrary reality shows it to be.
Faith on the other hand, is trusting that the sun will show up and shine tomorrow, and it has shined as long as you have been alive,
so you even have a real reference of the sun shining as usual.
If you believe that the sun might not shine one day, you are imagining a scenario that is completely unfounded based on reality.
So, faith is more like trust, and even as the root word of belief implies, belief is a wish for something to be so.
Edit: Also, I upvoted for giving me a decent conversation.

No offense to you, but I was speaking to you, not a dictionary =P. If this is a copy and paste conversation, I'll pass.
However, ur pasted definition did touch on what I said. Faith is trust. Trust is right there in one of 'your' definitions.
You aren't a reference when it comes to the meaning of any given word
Dictionaries are, for pretty much everybody btw

That's not just belief you're describing here, it's denial of reality.
And it's certainly not an accurate definition of belief btw, according to every single dictionary on earth since forever
