ERH sees faith not as a "religious" issue but as one of the driving forces of history. All revolutions begin in faith, and the faith that drives historical change is a faith that is reckoned as justice:
"Faith is a belief in things unseen; it goes against hope, it defies all odds, all probability, all chances. Faith in your mission enables you to break down the protecting walls of law and continuity. Faith drove Abraham from his country. And faith, in times of real necessity, is always accounted righteousness. It is a passive attitude, a strike in an impasse, a walk-out."
