Seconded.
If psychology = religion because you have to have "faith" in the psychologist, then pretty much any education at any level = religion because you have to have faith in the textbooks.
You're grossly misusing the word "faith," because it is NOT a true synonym of "confidence," though in colloquial English we may treat it at such. Faith is belief without evidence, on the merit of the argument alone, without empirical justification. Religious people believe in the existence of the soul on faith. Psychologists believe in the existence of Schizophrenia based on empirical evidence including firsthand observation, fMRI scans, postmortem brain dissection, PPI startle deficits, etc... That's not religious faith.
