Do atheists need some faith?

[nazra7]

Hello everyone. I have a question that I've been very curious about for awhile, and I'm opened minded to being persuaded one way or the other.

I'm sure you've all heard that it takes more faith to be an atheist than a theist, well I'm unsure if that is actually true.

So here is my question, well, there is actually two questions:

It seems that many atheists are atheists not because of evidence against theism but because of a lack of evidence for theism. Is this true?

If so, isn't there a little faith involved that there really isn't any evidence for theism that may have been overlooked or yet to be discovered?

Thanks in advance.
