SFQ is not a religion, as Master Lin strongly notes. However, the similarity to qigong and many faith / angel / energy healing systems is very strong. In SFQ the energy that does the healing is mainly that of your master. Your master could be god, if that is whose aid (energy) you call upon. You are only conduit that provides some conscious directioning. You provide the "what to do" and perhaps a how to the extent that you can imagine it. The actual details are beyond you. There is where faith and confidence in your master's energy and intervention are similar to faith healing.
I won't ramble anymore on the matter, but because of SFQ I am open to many more possibilities in the world than I once was.
You are perfection.
