CONTAGIOUS FAITH?

There's a popular apothegm going around,
         that too many a Christian has bought.
On the surface the saying seems perfectly sound:
         "Faith in Christ is not taught, it is caught!"

What a clever remark!  That's the right emphasis!
         It's a saw one can swallow with ease.
But if faith is contagious, my question is this:
         Why don't more people have the disease?
