There's a hypothetical religion out there (sure, let's just say it's yours) that is completely right. And agnosticism, which says you don't know (or alternatively, cannot know). Since agnosticism doesn't posit any specific interpretations of the universe, it can simultaneously be true along with the theoretical religion...
Oh wait, subaspects about that religion that simply sugguest less than the full hypothetical religion would also be truth. DAMN! Well, you know what I mean.
FIND TRUTH IN THE ALLMIGHTY MAYBE!

imanalchemist, that's kind of the point: Agnosticism isn't the one and only truth, it's "the truth" that exists regardless of what "the truth" is, because it doesn't make any assumptions about reality (accept possibly that you can't make any assumptions about reality); for those confused, agnosticism is the "I don't know" belief. You don't agree there is a god, and you don't agree there isn't a god, and if there is a god, you don't necessarily know what god is!

Oh, and I'm just kidding here: this is a satirical question, I'm not trying to convert anyone. That's silly.

There is no "second truth" about agnosticism. I gather from your premise that there should be a "first truth." Why don't you hold to the "first truth," which is the existence of God. Billions of Christians, especially, Catholics attest to this "first truth."
Here is an explanation as found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
2127 Agnosticism assumes a number of forms. In certain cases the agnostic refrains from denying God; instead he postulates the
existence of a transcendent being which is incapable of revealing itself, and about which nothing can be said. In other cases, the
agnostic makes no judgment about God's existence, declaring it impossible to prove, or even to affirm or deny.
2128 Agnosticism can sometimes include a certain search for God, but it can equally express indifferentism, a flight from the ultimate question of existence, and a sluggish moral conscience.
Agnosticism is all too often equivalent to practical atheism.

What do you mean by "second and otherwise only truth." What is the first truth?

anything that professes itself as the one and only truth is not worth the time of day
