faith-based
A politically correct way of saying that the government is going to give tax-payer's money to religious groups so they can use it to persue their religious agenda.
'Faith-based initiative' sounds less threatening than 'religious school' and so is less likely to scare people. This phrase is increasingly being used in the US and the UK.

Tony Blair: I think faith-based schools will benefit our children.
Journalist: So you're saying that you want to let religious organisations educate our children so they can learn that evolution and creationism are equally valid?
Tony Blair: They will receive a balanced education.
Journalist: So it's okay for children to be taught to doubt evolution and consider the earth to have been created within the last 10,000 years by a god? All this at the tax-payer's expense.
Tony Blair: Next question please.

faith based programming
Faith based programming is what happens when a programmer isn't smart or capable enough of writing good code that they pray whatever they did actually works. In early years, programmers would put a lot of debug statements, no-op loops, etc in code that somehow created the magic timing for it to work.
Programmer 1: Did you ever fix that bug we talked about yesterday?
Programmer 2: Ya, well sort of. I just added a few debug statements and it went away
Programmer 1: Oh, I get it, you are doing a little Faith Based Programming?
Programmer 2: Yep, even though I can't see it, I believe the problem has somehow gone away...
