What is religious faith. Given that atheism is a religion, is there a difference between what religion take by faith and what an atheist holds to by faith?
Well if there was evidence for God there would be no need of faith, would there?
I don’t want to waste anymore of your time or mine on the subject of what atheism is. I have defined it for you multiple times so will no longer respond to assertions such as “Many of the propositions held by the atheism must be take by faith.”
Perhaps someday our current scientific method will seem primitive, but at the present stage of human evolution there is no better way to understand reality in an objective, testable and falsifiable fashion.
1. Christianity is INHERENTLY DIVISIVE as believers are promised eternal bliss and nonbelievers eternal torture.
2. Christianity INDUCES UNWARRANTED GUILT AND FEAR by asserting that a Cosmic Judge watches one’s every move and knows one’s every thought.
3. Christianity OBSCURES TRUTH AND PROMOTES FALSEHOODS by diverting focus from the natural (real) to the supernatural (unreal).
4. Christianity DEBASES HUMANITY by condemning us as sinners worthy of eternal damnation.
5. Christianity BREEDS A FALSE SENSE OF IMPORTANCE by asserting that The King of the Universe knew each of us intimately before we were born, knows the numbers of hairs on our head, has a special plan for us, loves us, watches us, listens to our every word, desperately wants a personal relationship with us and even promises to give us anything we ask for (Mt 21.22).
6. Christianity’s assertion that the Devil is real ALLOWS FOR THE LITERAL DEMONIZING of others.
7. Christianity PROVIDES THE ULTIMATE JUSTIFICATION FOR EVILS of all kinds (such as the vilifying of homosexuals and the subjection of women).
8. Christianity’s THREAT OF HELL HARDENS HEARTS and causes others mental anguish.
9. Christianity PROVIDES COVER FOR ABUSES OF ALL KINDS as evidenced by thousands of sexual abuse cases in the last few years alone.
10. Christianity LEGITIMIZES FRAUD as evidenced by countless insincere televangelists and church leaders.

Actually the opposite of faith is disbelief, distrust, doubt, misgiving or skepticism.
I thought I would call your bluff and check out a thesaurus. Turns out you were wrong.
The point is knowledge backed by evidence makes faith obsolete.
Religious faith is only needed in the absence of evidence-backed knowledge.

Yes. An atheist does not believe in fairys for the same reason he does not believe in gods—lack of evidence.
Religious faith is belief in ghosts, gods and goblins without evidence.
There is plenty of evidence for God.
Many of the propositions held by the atheism must be take by faith.
According to your definition, anything science doesn't know or provide knowledge for must be taken by faith.
Can everything that can be known, be known through science?
