Faith in Final Fantasy Tactics is an actual stat, and magic power depends on how much faith a unit has, so the more faith a unit has the stronger their magic is, but the easier they are to fall into status effects and enemy debuffs.
But you can use Mystics or Orators to put an Atheist debuff on your melee units, and they become immune to all magic, so they can easily go kill mages, but they can't be revived if they fall of course.
