I'm of the view that there really isn't any such thing as an agnostic.

To me, one believes or one does not believe.

If one says they are "agnostic" then by definition, they do not fall into the former.

Gnostic/agnostic do not pertain to belief, but to a claim about knowledge and what is knowable. It's distinct from theism/atheism, which is entirely about what is believed or not believed.

Both words are useful in describing a person's philosophical position pertaining to the existence of a god or gods, and the existence of evidence supporting belief in god.

I find it useful in clarifying my position, which is one of agnostic atheism, which is distinct from gnostic atheism. I've elaborated on this already in this thread so I'm not going to do it again.
