> The tangible items that aren't primarily faith-based are land and housing, so they do well as reliable investments. But even they're not faith-free, because they will still lose value in an area if no one believes it has a future.
They depend on faith even more in that "owning" property only works when everyone agrees with the system of private property that granted you this ownership in the first place. This is usually backed by a government with some kind of armed police to maintain property rights by force if necessary. Without such a faith-based system -- or some other way of defending it by force -- your claim to any acres of land is not worth much.
