The opposite of faith

What is the opposite of faith?  I have always assumed it was unbelief.

But reading this morning in Habakkuk 2:4 (the famous verse which started the Reformation), I think another opposite is pride.  The verse says, "Behold, as for the proud one, his soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith."  Pride is really trusting in yourself, humility is having faith in another, such as God.  Pride and faith truly are opposites!
