...and therefore? There's got to be more to your argument than this!
Here are two words you should learn:
necessary and
sufficient. Perhaps faith is necessary for religion but it's certainly not sufficient.
Strong atheism (a popular term for what you're referring to) is not a religion. To give you an idea of how stringent this term is, even
Richard Dawkins doesn't identify himself as a strong atheist...
