Fair enough. I responded because you said 'rationalising FAITH' and NOT philosophy lol 
I thought you meant faith. And that would be incorrect if that was the case. Evolution and atheism both aren't based on faith. The former is based on evidence. The latter is based on neither Faith NOR Evidence. It isn't really 'based on' anything...it's just what happens when people don't believe in God because they don't see any reasons to or don't know of any evidence to (or they think "God" is disproved perhaps if they're a gnostic atheist...but that's kind of another story. I myself am an Agnostic Atheist).
