IMHO, Agnostics believe (and therefore have faith) that there is not evidence to support the believer or the athiest. That in itself is a belief and therefore "faith in what one believes". If the word "faith" has predefined meanings/implications, try substituting it with the word "conviction".

BTW : I call myself agnostic.

you would be correct if you left out agnostics has having faith.

Agnostics can have faith, just not in the existence of a deity. We can have faith in other directions. I have faith in the inherent nobility of human kind. Despite all the evidence to the contrary. <g>
