Not only does it not require "faith" to be an atheist, that aspect should play no role whatsoever in being an atheist

That's an easy one (for me at least): yes, at least the Jesus part.

Can an atheist believe in reincarnation?

The notion that professing to lack belief in something presupposes you had to believe in the existence of that to begin with (and moreover, that the object had to be real also) falls completely on its face.

To show that respect for others’ beliefs doesn’t mean the weakening of one’s own, but recognizing the dignity and conviction of others who are as certain of their certainties as you may be of yours, and being OK with that.

I can't claim to know whether every Memorial Day or Veterans Day observance excludes non-believers from the official observance when religious invocations are done, but it is fair to say we aren't taken note of generally.
