Faith ([i]noun[/i])
1.Complete trust or confidence in someone or something that cannot be totally proved/proven. A step into the unknown.
Does that make atheism a faith? As it still is a belief in nothing?
And just for the record you cannot totally prove or disprove the existance of a God/gods.
More on topic, a Christian came up with the Big bang theroy, and stayed a man of faith, so yeah... things just got sticky.

Positive assertion of existence =/= No assertion of existence

No. There's a subtle, but distinct, difference between believing in something [or in this case, nothing], and not having a belief to being with. Thanks for twisting around what I said.
