CAN have. Not MUST. Paul Tillich once said, "The post-skeptic God (the one I know) often bears little resemblance to the pre-skeptic God." For me, such a relationship has been a liberator, not a set of chains.
Allow me to postulate these criteria for such a healthy faith: A robust, living, positively enlivening faith welcomes questions and can answer them and criticisms cogently, give mockery a pitying smile and ask the state only for neutrality. All the brittle, already moribund 'faith' communities are the ones that beg the state for help in squelching questions, etc. and sell their souls to the rich and powerful in exchange for such help. I'm very sorry that, apparently, you've never come across the kind of faith communities that truly nurtured me. And not because I worry about your 'salvation' in that so-infuriating way.
This is a link to the article that came right after yours in my 'Medium' feed. If your faith is still in process (as is mine) you might find it helpful.
