Is atheism a belief?

[Huggy Bear]

If theists "know" then what is 'faith' for?

Let's go over this shall we 

I don't hate God.

Nothing to do with gods existence 

I hate a fictional depiction in a story book in fact several story books .

Has nothing to do with the existence of god only that bible and most religious texts have  yet to demonstrate themselves and thus are  indistinguishable from works of fiction  . This is not a positive statement that god doesn't exist . 

. Just the way I hate jar jar binks and he also likely doesn't exist

This clearly continues from the above the god of varied  religions remains undemonstrated and thus remains no less demonstrated then Jar Jar . This is not a positive statement that no gods exists .

You can in fact hate something that doesn't exist we do it all the time.

Again clearly stating you can hate something  that does not exist  and says nothing about it's existence 

So this attempt fails

I also like the fact that you guys claim you don't belong to a collective yet you are somehow are comfortable in speaking for just about every atheist on these forms.

We aren't a collective but I am confident speaking for other atheists those two things don't follow . We can not be a collective and I can be confident in the position of other people .
