Wow, this is rich and pithy.
If Faith is Trust (Trust in God or in Good Karma or Justice), then Fear is NOT DISTRUST.
Trust is being open; it's a 13. And a state (3) of being open is a 39 (3 x 13).
Fear is VISCERAL; it grabs you. Fear is "fight or flight." Lots of people who distrust the matrix Not-See system are not at the point of "fight or flight."
Let's say that Fear is -39 : and it means, "I'll never endure -- not here. Lemme outta here!" So fear is being completely shut down, 3 x -13 = -39.
And it's reciprocal, -93, is condemnation, the inability to continue.
Faith is 26, it's the CHOICE (2) to be Trusting -- NOT THE STATE (3) of Trust.
So, the opposite of Faith, -26, is Avoidance -- the CHOICE to be Not Open (-13). Therefore, its reciprocal, -62, is lack of clarity.
Isn't this fun?

Why is fear the opposite of anything? What is water the opposite of? It is simply a form of a particular kind of matter. Fear is a particular kind of passion, and the opposite of passion is indifference.
We are not indifferent, or we would not be here. We have many passions, fear among them. Fear is one of the most corrosive. It saps our will, and clouds our thinking. This is why it makes such a dandy control tool. This is why we must learn to neutralize it and why we must teach others to neutralize it.
The knowledge is there, within each of us. Let's dig deeper.
