Being an atheist, I'm probably not the perspective you're looking for, but I think it's pretty obvious that one can have faith in something (a loved one, for example) without having faith in some higher power. Or, to use your example of the sun rising and setting... if you want to call the laws of physics a higher power then I suppose your mother is somewhat correct, but I have a sneaking suspicion that's not what she means.
