Faith is a qualia and as such it's both unmeasurable and not comparable interpersonally.
Neuroscientists have measured brain activity that corresponds to religious experience, though. They've even managed to induce religious experience by activating the corresponding brain regions.
This was from a Richard Dawkins documentary: those who couldn't generate a religious experience on their own also couldn't have religious experience induced by the scientists.
