Do atheists need some faith?

[Selliedjoup]

Of course, atheists need faith that materialsim is an appropriate way to assess the existence or non-existence of a god.

How so? All they must assume is that materialism is possible. And even if they assume materialism is not possible, at most it can prove a Designer, but not a being worthy of worship.

By requiring material evidence to assess whether a god exists they have assumed it to be true, not possible. I have no idea how we could assess whether a god was 'worthy' of worship, unless it came down and instructed me to worship it.
