I do see atheists attempting to convince others to abandon their own belief systems.
Who's trying to convert theists? I never even think about or discuss the matter except when a theists is proselytizing, and even then I'm not trying to change his mind, just to tell him why I don't think that way. That would be a waste of time not only because it would be impossible to make any headway against a faith-based confirmation bias, but because it really doesn't matter.
If my neighbor wants to dance around a tree in his back yard at midnight baying at the full moon while shaking a stick with a bloody chicken claw nailed to it in order to center himself and give his like meaning, that's fine, as long as he isn’t violently insane, sacrificing animals, and he keeps the noise down. One might mind such a neighbor if he believes in things like devils and evil in the religious sense, but an atheist isn't concerned with that, just the other things I mentioned.
I don't think there is any such thing as blind faith, really. We all have some reason why we choose to trust and hope in whatever it is we are trusting and hoping in. Just because those aren't my reasons doesn't mean they are engaging in "blind faith".
If that reason isn't a sound conclusion based in evidence properly understood, then the belief is faith-based. What blind refers to here is the opposite of what evidence refers to. Evidence is what is evident to the senses, the absence of which makes belief blind (or deaf or anosmic). Hope is not faith, and trust based in experience properly understood is not faith.
Your team is behind 10-0 in the bottom of the ninth inning. You hope they win, but experience tells you that that is unlikely. There is zero faith there however the game turns out. Zero. It becomes faith when you believe that your team will win because you think a god told you that.
I turn the ignition key in my car. I hope it will start, and I expect it to based inexperience - what you call trust and I call justified belief. But I also know that sometimes, cars don't start. Again, there is zero faith there. But if you drive drunk because you believe you have a guardian angel watching over you, THAT'S faith - unjustified belief NOT based in experience properly understood.
There is nothing meritorious about unjustified belief. If you need to foster such a belief to feel comfortable, that's unfortunate. You'd be better off if you could be comfortable without such a belief, and being in such a condition doesn't make the belief more likely to be correct, just useful, like glasses to somebody who needs them to read, which one is also better off not needing or benefiting from.
