before i talk about if i think atheism requires faith. i prolly should define it.
1 a: allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty b (1): fidelity to one's promises (2): sincerity of intentions2 a (1): belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2): belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1): firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2): complete trust3: something that is believed especially with strong conviction
i think atheism requires no faith simply because by one of the definitions "belief in somthing that has no proof" when we have plenty of proof against a god. so its not blind like faith is. most of the other ones deal with religion. which we do not follow, hence that is not really useful. at the bare minimum we have faith due to the very last definition of faith but that is even questionable.
