The difference between the bridge and faith on god is there is evidence that the bridge will not collapse. While it may not be all variables, and is therefore not a certainty, there is a reasonable leap of assumption because there is at least some evidence upon which to base the assumption. The assumption isn't baseless. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of faith in the supernatural. No real evidence whatsoever exists to suggest that god or gods exist, therefore belief in it's existence is faith, not an assumption based on some evidence. This was already an apples and oranges comparison as we reasonably know the bridge exists, so speaking to whether it will collapse or not is already delving into the apples and oranges problem.
