Jeeze, do y'all speak English or own dictionaries? Athiests DO have faith in
their beliefs, one of which is that there is no god.

That is so absolutely wrong that it is hard to explain. Dictatorships *do*
have law. Check out Hitler's Germany, Franco's Spain or, more recently
Saddam's Iraq - all with stringent legal codes and none athiestic. OTOH,
there are legal systems, Marxist Russia for example, that had plenty of laws
but denied the existence of any god making them athiestic.
