rjh4 your statement that atheism requires faith just serves to demonstrate your ignorance about atheism. Firstly faith is exclusively a religious concept and has no place in science, logical thought or reason. You can't prove the existence of God since just believing that he exists in itself requires faith. Faith is a concept that requires no evidence and if you come to think of it is in itself blind.
By stating that I don't believe in the biblical god or gods of any kind does not require faith, in fact it is an actual lack of faith that would lead me to my conclusion. And that lack of faith is due to a lack of objective evidence.
Subjective evidence:is evidence that you cannot evaluate -- you have to simply accept what the person says or reject it. By definition, "faith" is subjective.
I obtained these defintions from the following link: http://www.godonthe.net/evidence/objctive.htm
Subjective evidence in my view is invalid as evidence for the existence or non existence of God, Jesus etc.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
