Being an Athiest is as much a "faith" as following a religion because you have chosen to follow a certain precept regardless of evidence. If god appeared, an Athiest would say something silly like "that's not god, just something we don't have the science to understand yet." That's a faith that goes beyond reason.

Should you be able to present a falsifiable theory for god, offer it up.

Simply saying that one has seen no evidence ( get yer science dictionary out ) is not the same as saying one has a "faith that there is no god. Gimme a beaker full of god to study, and I'll pass it on to the proper labs.

Also saying that an atheist presented with a suddenly appearing god would say something "silly", speaks volumes as to your understanding of atheists.

You really should try to understand the concepts you rail against, it would prevent you from making horrid mistakes in your lines of reasoning.
