Comments on the clue
1.&lit? Don't get it
2.Can't see the &lit. Cardinal/faithless association doesn't quite provide enough glue to make the story plausible.
3.The faithless (noun) can't equal two-faced (adj) (= unfaithful rather than faithless). Also not & lit!
4.Is there a connection between hot drinks and religiosity?
