Which -- faith?
Does "which" here refer to "faith" alone?
Because it is followed by "is", not "are", otherwise, "which" would refer to "ignorance, hatred, greed, and faith" in a whole.
Background info:
The only angels we need invoke are those of our better nature: reason,
honesty, and love. The only demons we must fear are those that lurk inside every
human mind: ignorance, hatred, greed, and faith, which is surely the devil's
masterpiece.
