The point here is that many people become atheists because they want to avoid having to use faith in there systems of beliefs.

In my case I would tweak that slightly so as to read, "The point here is that many people become atheists when they can no longer accept religious faith as a system of belief."
There is generic faith and religious faith. Hume realized that we all operate on a certain level of faith but religious faith is a whole different animal.
