No he is not. Twice in his demand for signs (Judges 6:36–37), he includes the words as you have said. That expression is key to this text. Gideon is basically saying Lord, your word is not good enough, but if there is a sign, I will believe. Contrary to popular interpretation, this text has absolutely nothing to do with determining the will of God. Gideon’s request for signs is not an act of faith. The divine will is perfectly clear in Gideon’s mind.¹ God will save Israel by means of Gideon. He had already assured Gideon that he will be with him, and will deliver Midian into his hands. But Gideon continues to be beset by doubts. He struggles to believe that God fulfills his promises.
