Why is Faith a Virtue?

I have faith that the "right thing" is the always "right thing" to do.As a Theist I believe that God has instilled the concept of the "right thing" in all of us and he has given us the freedom to act on or reject the "right thing".As a Christian I believe that God has spiritually touched my consciousness, (soul, spirit) and given me a fresh start spiritually and has enhanced my desire to choose the "right thing", while still leaving me the option of rejecting it.There also of course other factors concerning the person of Jesus Christ that science can neither disprove or prove that I take on faith.Do I ask you to respect that faith. Not really. I assume that you don't believe in God. I don't agree with you but I respect your faith, and your right to those views. We all have faith even if it's faith in the fact that we are it, that there is no greater intelligence than our own, and that there is nothing or nobody to answer to at the end of this life.I guess people of the theistic faiths, if anything are only asking to have their faith respected in the way that you assume yours is.

Everybody is entitled to my opinion.

We all have faith in something.Richard Dawkins, the evangelical atheist believes that there is nothing that is beyond the physical and that probably there is nothing beyond that which can eventually be discovered through the scientific method.He and others see their faith in humanity as the final arbitrator as a virtue, although they might not state it that way.
