Atheism is all Faith?
ndeed, it is common today for atheists to say, “I can’t prove that there is no God—but I think it highly unlikely that he exists, or at least I haven’t seen convincing proof of his existence, so I don’t believe in him.”
Whether they think it highly unlikely that God exists, or whether they just have not been presented with proof they consider sufficient, they are doing the same thing: adopting a belief without certain proof.
In other words, they are exercising faith.
They are in the same position as the ordinary Christian who holds the existence of God despite his acknowledgement that he does not have conclusive proof of this.
And atheists exercising faith in this way are doing so regarding the central belief of atheism—the non-existence of God.

ID (Intelligent Design) theory establishes a basis for belief in God by reverse engineering his creations. Once you have established a valid basis to acknowledge the existence of God. All that's left, is to determine his nature. That's what religion does.
In order to deny his existence; you absolutely must be able to prove God does not exist. Science explains only some of God's creations. In no way does increasing our understanding of God's creations disprove God's existence.
