because its kind of a yes or no question.... there's no middle ground. you either believe in a god or don't. your either a theist or an atheist |

ok there seems to be some misunderstanding. you not knowing if there is a god is irrelevant. agnosticism and Gnosticism are statements on ones knowledge. while theism and atheism are statements on ones beliefs. for example i do not know if there is a god or not yet i do not currently believe in one because of an absence of evidence. thus i am both agnostic on the existence of god yet i do not currently believe in a god thus i am an atheist. |

| agnostic theist means that you do know if a god is real or not yet you believe in one. the opposite would be Gnostic theist which means that you know that a god is real and you believe in a god. |
