Well, if you remember our discussion at AA?: it really comes down to wether you believe in the evidence or not... (Belief = trust = confidence = faith imo). 
And it all comes down to definitions
You trust evidence, you have confidence in evidence, you believe in the evidence: you have at least a little faith in the evidence. See the below parallel
Theists trust 'God', theists have confidence in 'God', theists believe in 'God': theists have at least a little (lot of?) faith in 'God'.
You still have to trust it, have confidence in it, believe in it... I collectively call that 'faith', as it is nothing different than what theists do (except that theirs is without any decent justifications so far as I am aware)

Quote:Blink of faith? Give me an example.1=1, to me that is a blink of faith.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
