I see agnostics as a theist questioning their religion, a weak atheist, or someone inbetween.
Agnosticism actually has a solid definition. I consider myself what is known as a strong agnostic, because I consider that it is not possible to know from an epistemological standpoint whether a god as often framed by deism or generic theism exists.

Weak atheism is also a defined term - it refers to a person who does not believe in a god or gods because they do not consider that there is satisfactory evidence to prove that they exist (also known as an agnostic atheist). Strictly speaking I am also a weak atheist because disregarding the epistemological arguments I don't consider there to be any good evidence that suggests the existence of a god or gods, and therefore for all practical purposes I consider my answer to the question "does a god (or gods) exist" to be "no".

Before people offer their own personal opinions as to what agnostics are, it might be a good idea to read this:

Allright. So say that someone thinks that they are almost absolutely sure there is no god, but thinks that there is a small chance that there is a god. Would this be agnostic because they think there is no proof of a god or the lack of one? Or atheist because they think that the lack of a god is far more likely than the presence of a god? Agnostic Atheist?
Somehow still around, somewhat

I did read that and I wasn't arguing with you. I wasn't even talking to you. I was answering someone else. I'd appreciate it if you weren't so rude.
