After seeing the title of this thread I did some thinking about my particular opinion and position on the matter. I personally do not think that it takes faith to assert that there is no god because I have come to my position by reviewing the evidence or lack thereof for and against the matter, and after weighing it carefully have come to the conclusion that god does not exist.
My position is not based on faith but rather it is based on the facts that I have found to the contrary. Weighing the evidence for the existence of god with faith on one end of the scale and all other research of the issue on the other; faith, loses in a convincing manner. Faith does not rely on evidence, it relies on your acceptance of an assertion based on subjective feelings, emotions, or convictions of others. My definition of faith is that of many free thinkers and that is that faith is the abandonment of logic and reason and the subjugation of ones mind and true self to an ideology.

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