Nouns are often thought of as referring to persons, places, things, states, or qualities. Phrases such as, "I love Him," are simple in stating two nouns (I and Him) and connecting the two with a verb. A verb, to keep it simple, will express action, state, or a relation between two things, and that may be inflected for tense, aspect, voice, mood, and to show agreement with their subject or object.

My question of the day is simple; What is the Noun of Religion.

There is no noun that properly guises Religion. You believe (the verb) in Him/Her/Them (the nouns) and fact is the following; In this world there is NO quantum register of belief, a pool of guidance one might say, in which or to which one can refer himself/herself to. However each religion/sect/following tries the same method of binding: one must be true and believe in THE path, and ALL who believe (the verb of religion) shall be taken by He/Her/Them shall be rewarded with the fruits of their own lives, according to the scripture said person believes in.

The paradoxical beauty of this situation lay between the silky bed Doubt and Truth; One must believe to be True, and to be True one must become True. We must achieve that integral something that is beyond the scope of all humanity, even the priests in their holy venture and the Pontifix Maximus with his intimate knowledge.

This integral something is taking (a verb) the word (a noun) beyond the simplicities of time and space, i.e. God is neither symbol nor metaphor, he is True, he is All. The verb that applies is Belief. We must believe that God (or any other Diety) is the Allmighty, the Allseeing, the Allknowing, and without his All, we are NOthing.

So now we have the verb. The verb Belief connects both I and He, and God and I, therefore fullfilling the criteria of verb.
The noun must follow.
The noun must be a combination of a state of mind and place of being, a quality of person and also a thing, however, it shant be an action nor explicit thing. It is that integral something that must precede the verb of belief and antecedes the verb of belief. It must connect to God (Diety) and I. It must be True and it must be applicable to All.

It must be filled in the open space in the example phrase, Without (...) I cannot believe in Him.

The noun of Religion is Faith.
Without Faith I cannot believe in him.
