Richard Dawkins comes across as a close minded atheistic fundamentalist (you get extremes at both ends of the spectrum people). Basically he himself has blind faith that God doesn't exist, just because you can't prove something doesn't make it false.
No he doesn't. Faith is the belief in something regardless of a lack of evidence.
He has, as do all other atheists, an almost infinite quantity of high quality reproducible evidence which suggests that a supreme being does not exist. All he does is compare this to the complete lack of evidence for the existence of a supreme being. He doesn't preach, he doesn't ask you to believe in anything, he simply presents the evidence that is there and asks you the question 'why do you believe in this when there's so much evidence against it?'.

Or faith in the absoluteness of the scientific method to be able to collect data on something if it exists
There's no faith in science, and there's no faith in atheism. Everything scientists and atheists believe and do is based entirely on logic, reasoning and evidence.
There's no 'third way'. Either you have evidence for the existence of something, or you don't.
