Hinter dem Horizont Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 It literally means "no faith". The word doesn't include WHAT faith. A person of another faith besides Christianity, such as Judaism and Islam, will call you a person of no faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
