Hmmm. I don't get that statement.
How has 'rationalising faith' got anything to do with evolution and atheism if FAITH has got nothing to do with evolution and atheism? There is evidence for evolution hence you don't need/can't have faith to believe in it. There's already evidence so if you believe in it then your belief is EVIDENCE based rather than faith based (because faith is without evidence).
Atheism also has nothing to do with faith. You don't need faith to be an atheist because an atheist simply rejects belief in God because there is NO evidence. No faith is needed - and no evidence is needed either. There's just no evidence of God so no reason to believe. Atheism ISN'T believing in anything without evidence and it isn't believing in something WITH evidence. It's simply NOT believing because there is NO evidence and hence; NO reason to believe.
