I now believe that atheism CAN be a faith....in the sense that you can believe 100% there is no God even though there is obviously a POSSIBILITY of a God (and you're denying it) ....therefore you fill up the tiny possibility of God with FAITH (because there's no evidence for this) that there just ISN'T a possibility....which is false.
However I would now call that a sort of pseudo-atheism because it contains faith to some extent. But it is still atheism because this pseudo-atheism still doesn't believe in God.
So to conclude: pseudo-atheism is like a faith because atleast to a small extent it IS based on faith.....but it is still atheism because pseudo-atheists don't believe in God...regardless of if that belief is atleast partly based on faith and not entirely on evidence.
