I made this thread so that theists can voice what they think atheists have faith in.
Just to make things clear, I define faith as: believing in something without any evidence.
I'm not really expecting any replies from theists but it would be fun if they did.
You go to bed with the faith you'll wake up in the morning.

Based on repeated, verifiable (and observable) observations and experiences. I woke up this morning. I don't go to sleep with an active 'faith' in a religious sense I will wake up. I go to sleep because my body, as a result of evolution, requires me to rest and regenerate as well as to compile thought processes that have occurred in my brain through the day/week/lifetime till that point.
You understand the difference between that and believing (having faith) in something that has never been observed, never been evidenced, and that never once had any verifiable substance to it aside the very faith that one professes to have?
Of course you don't.
Come on GC, your baseless assertions used to have a little more substance to them. Now I read them and all I get is, how you say, je ne sais quoi. And not in a good or comprehensible way.
