Same here as far as not being religious.
Interesting point about the rewarding part. Maybe I didn't ask the question well. I most definately agree with you that one concept of "faith" (if by faith you mean adherence or whatever to a religion) is to believe what is right and correct. It would be insanity to attatch yourself to a belief system if you don't believe (or even understand or know for that matter) what your religion teaches.
I can't speak for every believer, but I think having a world view that is internally consistent, and believable for you, would be rewarding in itself. I know it is for me. In that sense, "what is right for me" would have to be married to "what is right."
