Faith describes believing in something in spite of lack of evidence, or even evidence to the contrary. You don't believe in God, so you don't "have faith that God doesn't exist." You are just being rational and skeptical like a good critical thinking individual.
It's bad enough when Christians claim that atheists have to have faith to not believe in God, we don't need atheists saying it too.
I think what he's saying, though, is that his is a "faith" because his lack of belief is so strong, he thinks he knows for sure, without reasonable evidence to conclude such a thing... but that's just what I read from it.
Welcome, Andy!
