Do atheists need some faith?

Read again. The logic behind why your position is self-defeating is clearly outlined.

How you claim to address any points or questions I have made, will remain a mystery inside your own head. Even if they do come out they still will remain a mystery.

No mystery to anyone with cognitive faculties. If you actually read the posts, you'd find that your points and questions have been addressed. That you failed to understand the response is not ground for asserting that they weren't addressed.

Here:
"If you claim that only science can determine what reality is, and science measures, then...."

By concluding from the given premises that "science can measure reality", you have made the assumption that the only way science can determine something is by measurement. A comparative statement would be using "criminals do bad things" and "a criminal takes care of his parents" to conclude taking care of one's parents is a bad thing.

No, I've said that the idea of measuring reality is nonsensical. And that establishes my point regarding comprehension failure on your part.

You mean this one?
