What is the relationship between faith and reason?

So you see how faith is applied naturally in every day life? I mean, even the simple act of walking requires faith. I have to have faith that when I send the signals to all of the various muscles in my body to take a step, that the outcome will be what I desire: a step. If I didn't have faith, I would never make the effort in the first place.

I can see where this faith can be applied. But this type of faith is completely different to that of faith in religion, particularly for a divine being, like god, something that you can't see, hear, feel or test.

Take the car for example. I can have faith in the car will work tomorrow. However, if I don't have the car service for a lot time, eventually some part of the car will malfunction and not work. If I don't have the brake check, service, repair or replace in 2 or 3 years, it may fail, and I will crash the car. So what good is faith then?
