Again, certainty of non-belief is very different than non-belief.
I.E. I don't believe in dragons, but I'm not 100% sure they don't exist. My life doesn't revolve around the non-belief of dragons and it requires no faith.
Edit: Non-belief is not an absolute, belief is.

Except we're talking about certainty of nonbelief regarding something that it is inherently untestable, because it is "supernatural". This is very different compared to when it's nonbelief regarding something that is teatable. This is the whole point.
If it is impossible to support your belief with evidence, then your belief is supported by faith. That's what faith is. Your belief that there is no god is not supported by any actial evidence, so it's supported by faith. You have faith that there is no god, because you certainly can't disprove god with evidence, because the supernatiral can't be tested, it can only be pondered.

You're talking about certainty of nonbelief. Atheism doesn't guarantee that. You're trying to force the absolute certainty definition where it does not apply. No faith or certainty is required unless you believe.
