Agnosticism covers a wide variety of beliefs- what are yours? Do you have any rituals? Any sacraments? How do you choose to experience God, and what do you think about God? (This can refer to a dualistic God/Goddess like I believe in)

Grimnar, you sound more Atheist. That's cool, but do you consider yourself Agnostic?

Also, (I totally respect Atheism) having a belief in a god or gods can enhance your path too. It can be a great channeling medium for energy.

I believe that the Kingdom of God is within you (and me, and everyone). I am a pantheist.

Agnostics can't have any of that stuff in common as by thier nature they are unsure what to believe. Agnostism is the lack of faith either in the existence of diety/ies or in nothing (Athiests).Agnostics are not so much experiencing God/s so much as looking to....
I think you may not have a grasp on what Agnostism is - you seem to be thinking of Gnostic which is VERY different!!! They are a dualistic early Christian heresay...
Agnostics are people who think they don't know if there is a God/s or they believe that God/s is/are unknowable and beyond human understanding....

Agnostic spiritualism—the view that there may or may not be a God(s), while maintaining a general personal belief in a spiritual aspect of reality, particularly without distinct religious basis, or adherence to any established doctrine or dogma.
That is basically the definition of my form of agnosticism. As for what my spirituality is.. I guess that is kinda hard to explain... I dont believe in any god/s and I dont follow any religion. I have my own unique spirituality that is nature-based and centered on the more philosophical aspects of life. As well as science, knowledge, curiosity and the path to enlightenment through whatever means.
"I believe in God only I spell it Nature"... Frank Lloyd Wright
The first act of awe, when man was struck with the beauty or wonder of Nature, was the first spiritual experience... Henryk Skolimowski
“Despite great diversity, there is a shared worldview and ethics in both super-naturalistic and naturalistic forms of contemporary nature-oriented spirituality. The common perception can be stated succinctly: The earth and all its life forms and processes aresacred. We belong to them and they to us -- we are kin. We should, therefore, act lovingly, reverently, and respectfully toward them. We must not unnecessarily injure these beings and processes when we take from them what we need to live. The key tocontemporary earth-based spirituality and ethics is, therefore, a felt sense of “connection,” kinship, and loyalty to earth, her life forms, and living systems.”
Bron Taylor
The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.
If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living. Of course I do not here speak of that beauty which strikes the senses, the beauty of qualities and of appearance; not that I undervalue such beauty, far from it, but it has nothing to do with science; I mean that profounder beauty which comes from the harmonious order of the parts and which a pure intelligence can grasp.

I've got a slight interest in paganism, but part of me thinks it's just nonsense. As far as the biblical god is concerned, I can't stand him. I'm not sure if there is or isn't a god and answering that question really isn't important to living my everyday life.

Agnostics cannot determine if there is a God or not, so they do not have a spirituality,

I am human, nothing else.
I do not believe in any higher beings. I AM the higher being. I do not let these "gods" it get in my way, it only hinders my progress.
