What’s the point, Allifathima?
With standalone sentences like this, the grammar may be correct but we have no way of knowing whether they carry the meaning you anticipate.
1b is correct grammar also in some circumstances, but not as a standalone sentence.
For example:
There are a number of ways in which they display their faith:

  • their act of giving alms;
  • their devotion to God, made manifest in ritual prayer;
  • pilgrimage to a holy place.
