That is merely a statement that your atheism does not require faith. I questioned why you or others here think so.
I suppose I need to clarify my statement so it is more accurate. Faith is a way to accept something. Agnostic Atheism is rejecting all gods due to there being no good reason to accept any of them. Strong atheism, which makes the statement, "God does not exist." requires faith because there is no proof that god does not exist, so it is a belief upheld by faith alone. So some atheists require faith.
So, more accuratly stated, my atheism requires as much faith as it takes money NOT to collect stamps.
