Isn’t atheism itself based upon faith

Well, I guess it is.

I believe that anyone who will go around with racism, bias, discrimination and et cetera, and spending countless hours and dollars (and waste their entire life not doing things which they want to), purely because they believe that if they do all of this, they can chill out with this omnipotent being in the “good” afterlife (good of course by the definition of this omnipotent being), and everyone who does not believe in him or his ways will of course go to the “bad” afterlife, which is only explained as being “bad”, is a complete idiot.

However, the simple answer is no, it’s based on rejecting faith, due to absence of fact.
