The question is, what is that value and is it a good thing?
I did that already.
Atheists wrongly claim atheism is a "lack of belief", when, it is quite clearly a belief that no deity, or creator could possibly exist. As far as I am concerned, atheism requires far more "blind faith" than Christianity. To adopt the atheist belief system, one must look at the obvious design of the universe around them and conclude that it is all happenstance. Now that is faith.
Try again.
Hint - throwing vague sentences together into a word salad is not defining something.
That is not what I did either, and you know that. I think your contempt for your opposition in this thread has gotten the better of you.
Faith is essentially trust without evidence. Trust ties into faith, but they are not entirely interchangeable terms. Trust requires some evidence to some degree.
In most religions, faith is a prerequisite. Atheists/agnostics have said that if God were to make himself known (e.g. manifest as a physical being), then they would know that he exists and believe in him. This would end all religious wars, conflict, divisions, interpretations, etc. However, then it would no longer be a question of faith.
It would appear that faith does have some value. The question is, what is that value and is it a good thing?
OK, if it is too complex for you, I will put up a definition for you and ask you a more simple direct question.
Definition - Belief System
a. The belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers, regarded as creating and governing the universe: respect for religion.
b. A particular variety of such belief, especially when organized into a system of doctrine and practice: the world's many religions.
Belief systems - definition of Belief systems by The Free Dictionary
Question - Please point me towards these attributes in Atheism?
If that definition is not what you meant then, please explain what you did mean.
That's nice for you. You keep believing what you want to believe and keep living in your little bubble where you imagine that you get to tell people what they believe. Have a nice life, I regret clicking the 'View Post' button already.
You are missing ... conversation.
Atheists make the statement that there is no God or Gods
Not always. I make the statement that I have never seen any proof of the existence of a god.
It was a relatively straightforward question. Shall I repeat it?
You still do not get it, which is unfortunate but so be it.

Don't worry, he does this a lot. It's like a child stamping his feet, and screaming at the top of their voice when they do not get their own way.
This looks nothing like Philosophical argumentation. You do realize you're in the Philosophy section?
Faith is essentially trust without evidence.
