It may be an extremely good one, but it is still a belief. If "faith" just means that we are committed to our beliefs even though they are not proven by science, then the belief that we don't need God to explain the world is a faith. Nobody here will admit that, though.
What is there to admit? That Science explains the World without God(s) is falsifiable, testable and correctable. (Let God spontaneously heal an adult amputee.)
The term agnostic atheist dates back to the 19th-century:

Not sure why the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is so out of date.
