Welllll... I'll quibble with you there.
I'm a Buddhist-Atheist and faith still plays a role in my life. It's not faith in a God or Savior, it's faith that doing the right thing... following the path... is the right way. There's no way to know, you have to have faith that it will take you where you want to go. Even in the midst of delusion and ego, you have to have faith that right thought, right effort, right action will clear away delusion and reveal enlightenment.
Let us rise up and be thankful,
for if we didn't learn a lot today,
at least we learned a little,
and if we didn't learn a little,
at least we didn't get sick,
and if we got sick,
at least we didn't die;
so, let us all be thankful.
~ Buddha
