I think a better example would be faith in morality, goodness, justice, and honor. These things are unseen, and from an Atheistic point of view, exist within our minds and are created within our minds, yet having a meaningful reality to us. I think that takes faith, for one can easily believe, that our evolution made us believe they are meaningful and makes us take them seriously and act upon them, when there is no reason to and that they are illusions.
Atheists have faith in goodness. In the same way, I have faith in a soul. In the same way I have faith in God. Evidence is good, but most meaningful part of human experience, is not based on evidence, but is of the subjective experience that is stems more so from our innate nature.
