Do you see any benefits to religious faith?

[Pat Mustard]

What are an atheist's beliefs?

I was referring to his belief that "faith" mean's human belief

It's not a belief, it's a use of the word within standard definitions, and taking into account that at no stage has a religious belief ever been shown to be anything other than human generated. The fact of the matter is you are saying that because faith can be taken as belief in something which is not human generated (and that people have at times believed that their faith is not in something human generated), therefore religion is not human generated. But you cannot go from part one of your claim to part two without in the meantime providing evidence independent of the claim to support your supposition that religion is not human generated. And semantics will never be evidence.

You really are bad at adversarial debate aren't you arkilogue? Instead of the usual present claim>hear counter claim> present evidence with analysis>hear counter evidence and analysis>critique counter evidence>hear critique of your evidence>summation, you go present claim>be shown where claim falls down>rinse and repeat a couple of times>unilaterally declare that you know more about the other disputant than they do>be slapped down>unilaterally declare yourself the winner.
