What utter horseshit.
I no more have faith in the absence of a god than I have faith in the absence of small pgymy Aberdeen Angus cow just over my left shoulder in my office. Atheism has nothing to do with faith. There is absolutley no requirement for belief or faith in the non-existence of anything. This has been done to death. See: Russell's Teapot, The Dragon in my Garage.

The problem with your argument (well apart from the fact it's really very silly) is a) you've misunderstood what the words "belief" and "faith" mean and b) you're approaching it from direction that both theist and atheist viewpoints have equal weight and this is some kind of "burdern of proof" thing.

Thesims and religion exist because you NEED faith to place your trust in something that can never be demonstrably proved. That's the whole basis of religious worship. You don't need anything to consider the non-existence of something as your position.

"What is the difference between an invisible, silent, incorporeal, floating dragon who spits fire with no heat; and no dragon at all? If there's no way to disprove your contention, no conceivable experiment that would count against it, how does it mean anything to say that your dragon exists?"
