Having an opinion about the reliability of an authority is not faith. No you cannot have faith in your calculations (reasoned thought processes) or they are no longer that.

I don't know whether Fate is bad all ways. Maybe some ways, but not all.

Yes, ever since I was a little kid she has been bad news for the whole family...oh wait, did you mean my sister Faith?
Well, whatever. Faith is an abstract term that is linked to religion but there are many things that evoke faith without being religious, so the question is vague at best. I have faith I won't be struck by a meteor but not because a deity instils that in me. Maybe restate the question and ask "Is religious belief always a bad thing?"
