RT>Oh?  How's that?
An atheist says there is no God.  Given the inherent impossibility of
proving a negative he must do so with faith as logic cannot support his
position.  A Christian believes in Jesus Christ and his teachings, which are
well documented and historically grounded.  If you would like to see
detailed documentation of exactly how solid the case is I would recommend
Josh McDowell's "Evidence That Demands a Verdict" as an excellent source. 
If you haven't heard of him Josh was challenged as a law student to search
out the evidence about Jesus with the same diligence he gave a legal case. 
He did so and now lives by the results of this investigation.
