When once 'Faith' was important, is it now 'Stealth'

Faith gave us direction, hope, a sense of purpose for what we are working for and what we aspire for. It brought a communion between people who may share the same faith. It gave people the idea and the conviction that life is not a pitiful fiasco but something of a more valuable
tenure.
Today i argue it is 'Stealth' of individuals which is valuable. THe cleverest, sneakiest and slipperyness of individuals in a Western technological culture which gives great Freedom to individuals yet preserves laws which protect those individuals against violence. so the way to get ahead is to be as 'stealthy' as possible (without admitting it)
in order to sef actualize.
