First, thank you for being a real agnostic. Agnosticism is NOT without beliefs, it is the belief that the question of gods is unknowable at this point.
As an atheist, I don't accept the current attempts at placing a god in our universe. Whether it be logically contradicting or psychologically suspicious.
And thus, it seems your statement "as a matter of blind faith" is already false. It is not faith, as it depends on evidence, and it is not blind, because there is evidence against the existence of the gods currently presented. Also, please don't confuse evidence as proof.. I'm aware there is no proof against the existence of gods.

Quote by: Orr One of the most interesting questions about Dawkins's book is why it was written. Why does Dawkins feel he has anything significant to say about religion and what gives him the sense of authority presumably needed to say it at book length? |
There's a wonderful interview that answers this question.
