In a nutshell, an agnostic has no faith but is also not convinced that there is no god. He just "doesn't know".

Agnosticism is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly theological claims regarding metaphysics, afterlife or the existence of God, god(s), or deities — is unknown or (possibly) inherently unknowable.
Some agnostics take a stronger view that the concept of a deity is incoherent, thus meaningless and irrelevant to life. The term is used to describe those who are unconvinced or noncommittal about the existence of deities as well as about other matters of religion.
Early Christian church leaders used the Greek word gnosis (knowledge) to describe "spiritual knowledge". "Agnostic" was introduced by Thomas Henry Huxley in 1869 to describe his philosophy. Agnosticism is not to be confused with religious views opposing the doctrine of gnosis and Gnosticism— these are religious concepts that are not generally related to agnosticism.
Agnostics claim either that it is not possible to have absolute or certain knowledge or, alternatively, that while certainty may be possible, they personally have no knowledge. Agnosticism in both cases involves some form of skepticism

If somewone is agnostic it means that they have no specific religion that they follow. However, most agnostics believe that there is some god out there. But the truth is...they have no clue because they dont practice.

agnosticism is a concept that there's not enough knowledge or proof or evidence as you might say that god exists or doesn't exist an agnostic is a person who follows the concepts of agnosticism

A person who doesn't believe we can ever know if there is a god or not, and as such, it doesn't matter. We admit we are without knowledge, and we are ok with that.

Without Knowledge.
The Greek "a" means without or against gnosis means knowledge, hence "Without Knowledge"

it means one who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a god or one who is skeptical about the existence of god but does not profess true atheism.so i am saying it is one who is doubtful or noncommittal about something.
