I'm collecting "religion words"

I have attempted to collect "religion words" used in Christianity which are just emotional keys created by doctrine and have no real-world meaning.

I include:

miracle,
soul,
holy
spirit,
and "TRUTH."

How about a few more? And are any there that should not be in the list?

Maybe with the exception of 'repent' those are not religious words.

happiness from a proto Germanic word for good fortune, but I think good fortune is not a rational concept, but a matter of faith

charity from an old French word translated from the Greek word agape referring to Christian love of fellow man [non-sexual]

peace from pax from Greek eirene which is a translation of the Hebrew shalom

love from liaupse meaning song of praise, like Dearly beloved

hope from a proto-Lezghian word ʎul which also means prayer

faith from old French word for belief

repent is perhaps the only one with a modern religious connotation, its from the root of the word for pain [poene]

forgive from for- "completely" + giefan "give", where giefan is from the pagan for predestined or alloted

There's much more material to be found a little deeper.
Two that spring to mind immediately are:
"Sign of contradiction"
"Mystery of faith"

...but there are many more.
