"There is as much "faith" in atheism as there is in any other religion (ex, the Big Bang, evolution, the development of the human intellect, etc)."

How is "the Big Bang" faith? Do you disagree with the proposition that there was a Big Bang?

How is "evolution" faith? How is "evolution" faith? Do you disagree with the proposition that human beings have not always looked like they do now (i.e., "black," "white," "yellow," "red," "brown," etc.)?

How is "the Big Bang" faith? Do you disagree with the proposition that there was a Big Bang?

I do not disagree with the theory. It takes a lot of science to go back in time to the big bang. It takes a lot of faith to go back in time to a point before the big bang.

How is "evolution" faith?

Science describes the overall progression reasonably well, although there are some large holes in the theory. However the rate of change, particularily in the case of complicated functions (such as blood clotting), is mostly unexplainable by the current theory. Gould tried to explain this as evolution in spurts, but did not have an explanation for the method or the reason.
