Faith isn't weak, it's distrust in one's own autonomy and the need to have someone to blame or pass the buck to... it's also indicative of a overly dominant irrational amygdala ...
this question is completely misleading, it is implying if you are religious you have to believe in God and Jesus there are many religions that do not believe in Jesus, ones far older than Christianity.. just because one does not believe in Christianity it does not automatically make them an atheist.
Faith is not necessarily for the weak, it depends on how you use your faith, if you are trying to get people to think like you religion may be for the weak. If you can use religion to get people to think for themselves to use it in a way that empowers them to get them into thinking in ways they never thought before. To where they create themselves through religion instead of religion creating them.

Arguably, being religious in today's world takes more strength than at any time in recent memory, given the strongly anti-religion attitudes prevalent in Western societies now.
I do not believe that is true because your religion is a personal thing, if you want to go about spreading it then you might deserve the reaction you get. I have my own religion and i am never persecuted for it, i am thinking it is because i do not try to get others to believe it.
