I'd say "no"
faith
/fāTH/
noun
1. complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
"this restores one's faith in politicians"
synonyms: trust, belief, confidence, conviction, credence, reliance, dependence;
2. strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
synonyms: religion, church, sect, denomination, persuasion, religious persuasion, religious belief, belief, code of belief, ideology, creed, teaching, dogma, doctrine
"she gave her life for her faith"
Then, of course, there is this:

Do you think you're being tricky here? No, Atheists believe (have faith in) the idea that there is no god. Always seemed to me to be exactly equivalent to religious faith. In both you believe something you do not know for a fact and which can not be proven.
The difference being mainly in the killing of non-believers, raping of children, and related ancillary bits.
Just as I don't think I need to conform with the non-conformists I don't think I need to believe what the non-believers believe.

re: Atheists believe (have faith in) the idea that there is no god.
How? How does one have faith that there is no god(s)?
So, what do athiests think made the physical world?
re: The difference being mainly in the killing of non-believers and raping children bits.
So atheiests don't do that, currently? historically speaking?
How about we also just lump that (the last question still standing) with killing of children (already born ones). Then what?

Another big difference is the levels of organization.
Religions tend to be very organized, atheists squabble incessantly and recognize no imam or papal tree.
Organizations become corrupt, atheists have a harder time getting money from other non believers, including those who believe there is no god.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

It's never really been their main line of business. They've generally been more on the receiving end.

Says who? Proof?
NO. I'm saying that is not an abortion question, mang. I'm asking about killings of children (born ones period.).
I'll ask again:

Have to be careful here distinguishing between atheists and agnostics.
Agnostics believe that the nature of god, including the existence thereof, is unknowable.
The classical atheists do not believe in god, which sort of includes the agnostics. A more modern definitions of atheist is one who believes there is no god.
I'm not sure if there's a common belief for atheists regarding the manifestation of the physical world. One theory is the Big Bang. Another theory is that there was a Big Note that created harmonics that resulted in the vibrations, good and bad, which we interpret as matter. Credit the latter to FZ.
And again for the umpteenth time, atheists never claimed to serve gods children and protect them while simultaneously configuring mechanisms that protected the molesters of children in systematic and deeply hypocritical ways. No one is claiming atheists are perfect or protectants like the Catholic church does.
How? How does one have faith that there is no god(s)?

The Aborigines probably have it more right than anyone else, anyways.

I've tried going to churches but it has always made me feel sick. The hypocrisy, the haughty exclusiveness, the lies and misinformation and leading the poor sheep down to the donation bowl.

I know you get this, but Atheists killing people is different than atheists killing people in the name of athieism.

I'm not sure that is true. There are probably lots of pedo rings run by atheists.
Probably well organized and funded and bureaucratic.
The counting of athiest child rapists, in the present moment,. probably exceeds the number of sum of all Catholic priests that were ordained in the last 2000 years and their victims.

I'm not saying that Religious Organizations (Catholics esp. with ban on priests engaging in normal sexual relations) isn't complicit,
I'm saying that it cannot be used as an excuse for hating on 'religion'.
This topic is depressing me.
Re: Agnostics believe that the nature of god, including the existence thereof, is unknowable.
How do they know that?
