An Agnostic is someone who believe that there COULD be a Supreme Being out there, but doesn't see enough proof to either confirm nor deny His existence.

It's a position of neutrality.
Also, Agnostics do not accept the idea of Divine Revelation.

Agnostic means unknown. Agnostics don't know if there is a god and usually don't care.
If you are speaking about Barack Obama - U.S. Senator for Illinois - He has declared he is a Christian and he attends regular services.

Barack Obama is a member of Trinity United Church of Christ, a trinitarian Christian church located in Chicago's south side. Where you got the idea of his agnosticism, I'm not certain, although there are some UCC members that no doubt are agnostic.

Agnostics are people who recognize that there may be Gods pr a God, but they do not believe in any specific one. They do not worship, etc.

He believes in a higher power but isn't sure which ont.
Or for the cynical, - he's atheist (or of some other unpopular belief) and admitting so would hurt his chances of becoming president.

It means to not feel that religion is the absolute truth, but still feel there's something out there.

a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience.

I didn't know he was agnostic.
Agnostic : the existence of GOD can't be proved or disproved.
