Please. Athiests, in the commonly accepted definition reject any organized belief system that is not based on emperical evidence - period. Any belief system based on moral codes and the like are hunky dory.

Maybe its based in faith because as human beings, we have no science or the needed tools to explain the things that religion represents. Is it so far fetched to believe that there are some things that OUR science cant explain? If I put a computer in front of Issac Newton - you think hed be able to explain how it worked? Of course not - he lacks the tools and the ability to suss that out - even though he was (and still is) one of the greatest thinkers of his time.
