Faith is usually defined as belief beyond evidence, in other words, you believe something, such as god, without any evidence.
faith click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith ----"faith refers to belief beyond evidence or logical arguments, sometimes called "implicit faith"--wiki
Agnosticism is having a belief in a deity, while believing the existence of that deity is inherently unknowable. so, from the point of view of an agnostic, they can believe in god and also believe there is no evidence to prove gods existence. thus, belief without evidence.
agnosticism click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosticism ----"theological claims regarding metaphysics, afterlife or the existence of God, god(s), or deities — is unknown or inherently unknowable" ---wiki
christians and many different religions seem to always have evidence for their belief in god's existence. From this point of view they would not have faith, for faith is belief without evidence.
so, it seems that agnostics are the ones with faith, while the thesist (christians etc...) are the one without faith. maybe that explains the many problems with todays religions.
typical answers are a misunderstanding of the terms of faith and agnostic, so, I left some links to some credible sources for understanding the terms.
