Granted, it works the other way.
Agnosticism is the complete and utter lack of faith.
Atheism is the exact opposite of organized relgion, and since religion is a Great Truth, the opposite is also.
Therefore, Atheism is as much based on faith as any religion.

I would call myself a spiritual person, although my religious beliefs are a little vague.
That's sort of what like my aunt says. She tells me she has a belief in something very big, but she's not sure what it is.

So the entire Bible is a work of fiction? Nobody really died for Jesus? All the documents of the time were made up? Christianity is one elaborate hoax that's lasted for 2000 years and persuaded 3/4 of the world to believe in it?

Considering the fact that MORE than 3/4 of the world is stupid, said fact doesn't help said case.

Therefore, Atheism is as much based on faith as any religion. I'm not sure I quite followed that, but it sounded intriguing. Could you elaborate on that?
