Then you also understand that science does not have any evidence proving gods do not exist. Atheism is a rejection of a belief in deities. It is saying 'I do not believe in deities'. Which, if you accept science does not disprove them, is not a scientific position. You are saying although science has not disproved deities you are prepared to take a leap of faith and say you do not believe in them.

The atheist does not have faith in 'faith'. Thats the difference. The atheist doesn't subscribe to having 'faith' that there is no god, just as they dont need faith to not believe in other supernatural phenomena. Magic, slight of hand, illusion are certainly better explanations for these so called 'supernatural' events. You dont have to have 'faith' that there is or is not extraterrestrial life. Faith has nothing to do with it. There are certain probabilities at play for everything that we suppose to possibly exist, yet we dont have the capability of knowing at this time. The probability for the existence of god is extremely low, if not zero, and it keeps getting lower the more we learn about the universe we live in.
