That's a long list, but i'll do a few now and maybe more later.

trust: willingness to place responsibility in another entity to perform or uphold something of value

faith: belief not founded on observation or evidence

religion: a worldview based on prescribed items of faith

scientific inquiry: the process of collecting repeatable observations, formulating hypotheses, and discarding all hypotheses that are disproved by evidence

atheism: the belief that the universe is not governed by an omnipotent deity

belief: something held in one's mind to be true

i'll tackle a few that haven't been covered...

logical process: the process of taking premises and using specific rules to manipulate those premises into a conclusion. there are specific kinds of logic that have specific rules about what the statements are and how to manipulate them, but in general, they can be just about anything.

devotion: trust in something/someone that allows you to see beyond faults. a feeling of caring that cannot be broken easily. the willingness to make great sacrifices for an idea/person/thing.

patriotism: respect for one's country. perhaps not all of the actions of the government are not up to snuff, but belief in the basic system of government and respect for how it works. appreciation for the country you live in, in general.
