I would consider myself as 99.9% gnostic when it comes to the absence of the biblical god and all it's different franchises. Same goes for all the gods of ancient times.
So all in all, agnostic sits well with me, since the burden of proof has to lie with the ones making the supernatural claims.
Yes. I'd say my disbelief is an act of faith in my naive common sense. I could be wrong, so I'm agnostic and always ready to pivot to the truth in the face of new information. In the mean time, party on.
