No, while it has religious roots, it is used by everyone in formal Arabic to discuss any noble or serious goal.

Usually, it is followed by a noun or a verbal noun (Masdar). For example, 'في سبيل تحقيق' (in the path of achieving).

The plural is 'سُبُل' (subul). You might hear 'في سبل الخير' (in the paths of goodness).

Rarely in daily conversation. Dialects prefer 'عشان' (ashan) or 'كرمال' (kirmal).

'Fi sabil' is more formal and implies sacrifice/path; 'Min ajl' is neutral and just means 'for'.

Yes, it means 'in my path' or 'for my sake', but it's less common than 'في سبيل [هدف]'.

In Modern Standard Arabic, it is masculine.

Arabs usually say 'من أجل النقاش' or 'جدلاً', not 'في سبيل'.

Technically yes, but it sounds very strange. It's almost always for something the speaker values.

Because it is provided 'in the path' of people for the sake of charity (Fi Sabil Allah).
