Atheism is ever bit “faith-based” as traditional religion. How can they know for certain that God doesn’t exist.
I think it takes more faith to be an atheist, then it does to be a Christian. You have to believe, everything in the universe was just happen chance, not intelligent design. Order has never come out of chaos.

They don’t. This is simple logic. No one can prove or disprove the existence of God (i.e. put him in a bottle and measure he exists). Therefore, whether you chose to believe or not believe in God is an issue of faith, since one has faith when one cannot “prove” what one believes in to 100% accuracy.
Why this upsets the athiests so much is that they are insufferably arrogant in thinking that they and only they know what is really going on and everyone else is an enfeebled idiot (i.e. the theme of this article). To realize that their metaphysical belief system is no more valid or provable than any other groups opinion removes their knee-jerk superiority complex. It would be nice if they could get over themselves and join the rest of us in realizing that it is okay for others to believe differently in spiritual matters.
