A, did you mean that each person has more than one life? Everyone's is singluar, mean each person has... and then you have a plural word, lives. If you want to, post the entire sentence for us to look at.

When asking what (do or does) item 1, item 2 and item 3 have in common? Which do you use: do ro does?

What DO these three items have in common, so use "do."

You probably shouldn't say "everyone's lives of faith" in the first place.  It sounds awkward to me.  I would say "People's lives of faith do not affect..."
(It's "do" because "lives" is plural.)

I do

You do

He, she, it does

We do

They do

-- So, third-person singular (he, she, it) uses "does."

we use DO with I, you, we and they.

we use DOES with he, she, it, everybody, everyone, nobody, anybody, etc.

>everyone's lives of faith (do/does) not affect...

The sentence is incorrect. "Everyone" is always singular. (The clue lies in "one". "Every one".)

Therefore, it should be "everyone's life of faith does not affect...
