What is faith?

We all know that faith is an important aspect of Christianity. But what about atheism? Does an atheist exercise faith?

If so, how?

In what way?

I maintain that many atheists do indeed exercise faith despite what they may say about it.

So let us begin the discussion.

I suppose this depends what definition you're using (equivocation fallacy?). The Oxford dictionary defines faith as "complete trust or confidence in someone or something" or "strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof". If you're arguing for the first definition then I would agree I have faith because, for example, I have complete trust in my girlfriend but, if your definition is the second (it must be for the argument to make sense imo) then I have none.
