You can't prove it; and it is therefore a faith.
No, faith isn't involved in disbelief. I do not have, nor do I require, an absolute answer to every question. I don't mind saying "I don't know".

Faith demands an outcome. You don't have to have faith about the present. You know what's happening right now. Faith concerns the future, the outcome of the present. Atheism doesn't anticipate an outcome, there's no end game. Life is a process. So we don't have a use for faith in the way you are using the term.
