A system of beliefs can belong to one. The beliefs I stated weren't meant to be general. And most other beliefs are derived consequently from the no-god part. But that's neither here nor there.
The faith I use is: 'complete trust, unquestioning confidence.' Right out o' me Oxford dictionary. The second entry is: 'strong belief, especially in a religious docrine; a system of beliefs, a religion.' This doesn't implicate a religion specifically and can also be used. Only a moronic atheist would profess to be able to prove there is no god or gods. Hence, a thoughtful atheist must have faith. Really, only an agnostic is can be considered faithless. But even this is not completely true.
And it's my view that an atheist with a 'lack of belief' or no faith is one that doesn't think much on the subject.
