No, it isn't. This is a common logical error which is aggressively
promoted and promulgated by the religious lobbies, who are desperate
that their superstitions are treated equally with rationalism.

Atheism is not a faith and it is not a faith-based position. It is the
position that there is no god or gods, because there is no evidence
for them. It is a rational position based on evidence, not a faith or
belief.
