I suppose you mean "Believing fervently there is no God", rather than "NOT believing in any God". If you switch it around, what terminology would you use if you have no faith either way? I would say "not believing in any god" is the no faith position.

No, Evolution is fact. The theory of natural selection is theory. The word theory implies a lack of faith and an invitation to challenge.

Natural selection is supported by available evidence, and could be disproved, but myths require blind faith. There is a considerable qualitative difference.
