Not so at all.

The agnostic position is neither a belief in God or a belief in no God.

That is the state you are referring to.

The atheist position is another statement of faith i.e. there is no G-d, only with a minus sign. In the absence of proof, either statement is one of belief without evidence. Belief without evidence is the definition of faith.

I’m not sure if I agree with this:

The atheist position is another statement of faith i.e. there is no G-d.

For me it’s not a matter of faith but my own rational conclusion. My philosophy, if you can call it that, is not based on no God. It really doesn’t come into the forefront of my mind other than when I think about human interactions, psychology, sociology, etc.
