Just a minor thing about definition:

I thing "chastity" is imposed on us by religions because it gives us something to feel guilty about and when we feel guilty we turn to our gods to absolve us.
I think also that it's a control issue that reviles promiscuity because that would be too much fun - and a health hazard.
One other virtue might be Altruism/Charity (if it hasn't been mentioned before) because that absolves the state of some responsibility to its citizens.
I think you covered Faith, but Hope is another Christian virtue which is imposed, of course, to make us happy about suffering as long as the after life is all sweetness and light.
Have you thought of inverting the Deadly Sins? Gluttony becomes Productivity; Lust becomes Platonic Love; Avarice becomes Benificence and so forth.
I think it's a fascinating concept, discovering the 'virtues' that conceal their evil behind the veil of community spirit.
