It depends on what you mean. While it's literally true that I believe that I'm holding my TV remote control in my hand, in casual language, people wouldn't call that a "belief."
Atheism is based on the fact that there's no evidence for God. Is that faith? If you want to call my "belief" that there is no Santa Clause based on faith then I guess atheism is also based on faith. In that case, I guess I can only say that it doesn't take much faith...
