Yes, that's precisely the point. It is sometimes claimed that atheism is as much a matter of faith as religious belief, but it isn't. As you say, it's not a matter of faith that something does NOT exist if there is no evidence to the contrary. Have you looked at the quiz referenced? It's really quite fascinating!
