Atheism is not about faith it's about a lack of evidence and common sense that any of the 1000+ religions are correct about a divine creator. Science is constantly challenged, tested and advancing.

A supernatural being/diety comes from a belief in whichever religious tale you've bought. As an agnostic you believe the evidence of these thousands of gods is nonsense, right? These tales/beliefs are clearly man-made? But you can never say never...
Athesim doesn't have to prove anything. It's based on learning and common sense. It's not about faith/belief.

Atheism is the beleif that science is infalible and complete enough that you can make a dogmatic conclusion from it.
You've said it yourself: science is always changing, how can it be infalable? Our scope and comprehension of science are nowhere near complete enough and probably never will be.
It's very egocentric to presume that humans have the intellectual capacity to fully understand and explain existence.
Faith in science is still faith.
You're also a little off the mark about what being agnostic is.

Webster and Oxford might disagree with you there...

Yes! The very essesence of science is that it is fallable...
To base a dogmatic beleif on something that is fallable requires you to have faith in it.
Not placing belief in a Deity or believing there is a no Deity in existence at all are very different things, one requires FAITH in the scope of Science, the other does not, I'll let you figure out which.

Science as itto is implemented across the world also has its spectrum of beliefs, agendas just like any other group.
And plenty of evidence out their to support the above assertion.
Thats not to say good science being implementeda doesn't happen, dont kid yourself that it is squeaky clean and faultless
