It depends where you are living I guess, Mrrzy. Being an atheist in Canada would not present much problems.

By the way, I do think that atheists have faith in various things. Just not in things like "God" or reincarnation or life after death or angels. Like most people, they take their more bizarre leaps of faith so much for granted that they aren't even aware they have them. Only someone who believes differently from them will notice.

Some people have a lot of faith in eternal things, with others it's more in temporary things...like youth, good looks, money, popularity, possessions, you know...the worldly stuff.
