I also note the implied distinction between faith (first two) and knowledge (third). Ultimately, it is not clear to me that we can ever "know" anything if "knowing" requires 100% certainty. The best we poor humans can achieve is varying levels of confidence in our conclusions. In this, the theist tends to have the advantage. If they have had a personal experience of their god, they will have a level of confidence in their beliefs that the atheist can never achieve.
Just a thought...
BTW - I am a recovering theist!
