信仰，就是相信人生中有一种东西，它比自己的生命重要得多，甚至是人生中最重要的东西，值得为之活着，必要时也值得为之献身。这种东西必定是高于我们的日常生活的，像日月星辰一样在我们头顶照耀，我们相信它并且仰望它，所以称作信仰。但是，它又不像日月星辰那样可以用眼睛看见，而只是我们心中的一种观念，所以又称作信念。
提起信仰，人们常常会想到宗教，例如基督教、佛教、伊斯兰教等等。在人类历史上，在现实生活中，宗教信仰的确是信仰最常见的一种形态。不过，两者不完全是一回事。事实上，做一个教徒不等于就有了信仰，而有信仰的人也未必信奉某一宗教。
有一回，我到佛教胜地普陀山旅游。在山上一座大庙里，和尚们正为一个施主做法事，中间休息，一个小和尚走来与我攀谈。我问他：“做法事很累吧!”他随口答道：“是呵，挣钱真不容易。”一句话表明了他并不真信佛教，皈依佛门只是谋生的手段。这个小和尚毕竟直率得可爱。如今，天下寺庙，处处香火鼎盛，可是你若能听见那些烧香拜佛的人许的愿，就会知道，他们几乎都是在向佛索求非常具体的利益，没有几人是真有信仰的。
在同一次旅程中，我还遇见另一个小和尚。当时，我正乘船航行。船舱里异常闷热，乘客们纷纷挤到舱内惟一的自来水管旁洗脸。他手拿毛巾，静静等候在一旁。终于轮到他了，又有一名乘客夺步上前，把他挤开。他面无愠色，退到旁边，礼貌地以手示意：“请，请。”我目睹了这一幕，心中肃然起敬，相信眼前这个身披青灰色袈裟的年轻僧人是真正有信仰的人。后来，通过交谈，这一直觉得到了证实，我发现他谈吐不俗，对佛理和人生有很深的领悟。
其实，真正有信仰不在于相信佛、上帝、真主或别的什么神，而在于相信人生应该有崇高的追求，有超出世俗的理想和目标。如果说宗教真的有一种价值，那也仅仅在于为这种追求提供了一种容易普及的方式。但是，一普及就容易流于表面的形式，反而削弱甚至丧失了追求的精神内涵。所以，真正看重信仰的人决不盲目相信某一种流行的宗教或别的什么思想，而是通过独立思考来寻求和确立自己的信仰。两千四百年前，苏格拉底就是被雅典民众以不信神的罪名处死的。他的确不信神，但他有自己的坚定信仰，他的信仰就是：人生的价值在于爱智慧，用理性省察生活尤其是道德生活。在审判时，法庭允许免他一死，前提是他必须放弃信奉和宣传这一信仰，被他拒绝了。他说，未经省察的人生不值得一过，活着不如死去。他为自己的信仰献出了宝贵的生命。
信仰是内心的光，它照亮了一个人的人生之路。没有信仰的人犹如在黑暗中行路，不辨方向，没有目标，随波逐流，活一辈子也只是浑浑噩噩。当然，一个人要真正确立起自己的信仰，这不是一件容易的事，不但需要独立思考，而且需要相当的阅历和比较。在漫长的人生道路上，改变信仰的事情也是经常发生的，不足为怪。在我看来，在信仰的问题上，真正重要的是要有真诚的态度。所谓真诚，第一就是要认真，既不是无所谓，可有可无，也不是随大流，盲目相信;第二就是要诚实，决不自欺欺人。有了这种真诚的态度，即使你没有找到一种明确的思想形态作为你的信仰，你也可以算作一个有信仰的人了，因为你至少是在信仰着一种有真诚追求的人生境界。事实上，在一个普遍丧失甚至嘲侮信仰的时代，也许惟有在这些真诚的寻求者和迷惘者中才能找到真正有信仰的人呢?
