And fear, well fearlessness, I suppose. I don't think a lack of faith need even lead to fear, let alone be fear. It sounds like the kind of thing Bono would say, in that it's pompous and I disagree with it! Isn’t the opposite of faith skepticism? And fear, well fearlessness, I suppose.

Faith is having trust (thereby peace) that things are as they should be, or that things work out well for you. Fear is lack of trust - faith, that things work out. Have you ever known peace while being in a state of fear? If you trust, you don't fear. If you fear, you don't trust. When you said that it's all to black and white, "a little too simplistic" for you, I was reminded of Occam's Razor. The simplest answer is the right one.
