Certainly for myself I can safely say the quality of my meditation experiences are completely dependant on how often I do it, the same as it has always been.

May I point out that there is an assumption being made here which may be erroneous.  The quality of your meditation may not have been so great before, so the fact it's the same now may not be much to cheer about.

Regarding faith: it doesn't only apply to religions. Obviously you did completely misunderstand it mate.
