If we were to break it down, there are actually 4 options: Agnostic Atheist, Agnostic Theist, Gnostic Atheist, and Gnostic Theist. Agnostic shouldn't really be a term on it's own, as it is a description of whether you believe your belief is the truth. For me, I would be an agnostic atheist. I don't belief in God, but I don't believe you can disprove or prove it either. Stophe,

I think of myself as Atheist - I do not believe there is a god, and Agnostic - I don't think the existence of a god can be certainly known to be true or false.
