an atheist who recognizes the value of fulfilling the human need to have faith and worship and is someone who elects to not have faith in anything bigger than him/herself but secretly harbours a desire to reinvigourate the idea of community but doesn't believe in organizing anymore.

Faitheist: one who pretends to have been an atheist who found religion, for the purpose of creating common ground to evangelize to atheists.
Faitheist: I was once an atheist like you, but through the power of prayer I connected with "God" and am now a blessed follower.
Me: An atheist has no god to pray to. We both know you're full of shit.
Faitheist: I... I... God hates you and you'll burn in hell.
Me: Fuck off.

An atheist who is just as blindly sure there is no God, as the religious people are blindly sure there is one. Not to be confused with an agnostic, who thinks humans are incapable of knowing for sure what's really out there.
I was talking to this Faitheist recently and he was so damn sure his views were the right ones that he reminded me of an evangelical christian. Check your ego homie, you don't know shit.
