Sorry, but your opinion is offensive and wrong. By suggesting that it is better to have "faith" and morality than simple morality, you are almost suggesting that your morality is superior to someone else's morality who doesn't have "faith". Define what you mean to "have faith" and define what you mean to be "moral".
If you choose "having faith" to be something really ambigious, like being optimistic and thinking there is a creator out there, it is different than saying "having faith" and intepreting the words in the Bible.
At risk of sounding offensive to you, "in my opinion", faith is something that a person needs to think that they have a purpose in life/are superior to those without faith, including other types of lifeforms. In other words, "faith" is burying your head in the sand "in my opinion" (see how offensive that sounds lol).
