Faith that their circumstances will change.
Faith that their car will start up in the morning.
Faith in non-faith that God doesn’t exist.
Faith in getting their objective of whatever is on their mind done.
The Nazis had faith in an infallible leader.
Faith in a new technique that may work.
Some have faith in Yahavah/God.

What are your thoughts on this? Does even an atheist have faith in something working for themselves?

I just got this book and it established the though concerning people have faith in certain aspects even of change, some people have faith that their circumstances will never change.

Just wondering.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

There is that space in everyone that only God can fill.
So yes atheists have faith. Faith in what ever version of atheism they follow.

Faith that material things, another's love for one will satisfy.
Jeremiah 2:13
‘My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
Describes there situation.

Yes, a baby has faith that his Mommy will feed him, because she doesn't fail everyday. The sun comes up everyday ... rain will eventually come ... Regular reoccurring things that happen give us reinforcement that they will continue to happen. This is common faith _ in people _ in the physical universe. We hope for the best.
BUT THIS IS NOT THE GIFT OF FAITH IN CHRIST/GOD. Also we have peace at times, peace among us ... as the world gives BUT IT IS NOT THE SAME PEACE AS CHRIST GIVES.

Everyone has faith in something. Even not believing requires faith. For the atheist, they usually put their faith in science or themselves.
