It is true that Dawkins doesn’t take the absolutist opinion. He doesn’t argue “I know for a 100% certainty that there is no God.”
Instead, he explains that the burden of proof is on the positive asserters.
Whether or not you have 'faith' in things may be affected by your word choice. Some people prefer to use the word ‘hope’. I hope the sun will come up or the tide will change tomorrow. Empirical evidence suggests they should.
You could have faith in the scientific or empirical evidence, or in the scientists who examine, measure and predict certain phenomena.
I nurture hope in many things. I can’t think of anything I have faith in for which there is not some kind of evidence or supporting that faith. Perhaps belief, like faith, is ultimately a choice, based on personal emotion, intuition and immeasurables.
