Possibly because atheism could be based not only on evidence but also on preference or intuition, this would be faith in atheism.

Never, atheism always contradicts faith. There is no faith without belief in the supernatural.

I would say atheism is never a faith ... but then I don't believe generic theism is a faith either.

To my mind both are simply labels and to have faith you have to adopt a brand of theism (or atheism I suppose though I don't know of any).
