Buddhist's don't have faith in One Self either.

Biologically this is true. Socially there may be some patterns which cease
along with the individual's biological patterns but there are some which
don't. Intellectually, the patterns that have latched in other people and in
books and online etc. will outlive the individual biological patterns but
will lose the ability to Dynamically change with respect to that that
particular individual.
