Your definition of faith fails since there is more than enough evidence,
simply none is conclusive. In fact much of the evidence is used by both
side with different interpretations. Atheism requires just as much faith
as theism, since both are frameworks for explaining the universe. The
most fundamental questions can't be proved and faith bridges the gap of
missing understanding.
