Yes, Mars has gravity. So does Earth. Earth has a thick atmosphere, Mars does not. Gravity has nothing to do with it.
The electromagnetic field holds our atmosphere in place.
I've yet to hear a better argument on the question at hand.

Although they have not found gravity yet, all eyes are on the massive particle smasher they just finished building to find it.
Have a related question:
IF you took a cross section of the atmosphere would the density of air from bottom to top be a gradient ? or would it be semi constant all the way through ?
