I think technically every human being on Earth is an agnostic. A theist is one who has a belief in God. An atheist is one who has no belief in God. An agnostic is one who is not sure about the existence of God. I am an atheist, but at the same time I think I am an agnostic. Although I do not believe in God, being that I cannot prove his existence with any scientific method, I can't say I am fully 100 percent sure that he does or does not exist. I think the same logic applies to theists. Theist and Atheist are words surrounding belief, agnostic however is a word based on absolute knowledge which none of us have. I think regardless of whether you are a theist or an atheist, you are also still an agnostic at the same time. I think everyone is an agnostic.

I cannot scientifically prove that Santa Claus does not exist. Does this make me an agnostic about Santa Claus, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny?

No Iam not an agnostic. I have more then belief and faith in God. I have knowledge of God. He has shown me in many ways that He exists and is the only Truth that there is.

I would agree to a point. I'm not going to tell anyone they have to be agnostic. But then again, people think I'm strange because I believe everyone is at least a little bisexual.
But I do have moments where I see the validity behind the bumper sticker that reads: "Militant agnostic: I don't know, and you don't either." But who am I to tell people what to believe?

No, and don't tell people what they believe...it's rude.
I am an atheist. I am not an agnostic. I am not unsure about the existence of gods, I know there's no gods. Therefore I am what you'd call a positive (or strong) atheist.

You're basically assuming that everyon'es a scientist. And since something can't be proven scientifically then everyone's unsure. Well, personally, we could all starve to death waiting for science to prove anything for us. Once they get down to quantum physics they throw up their hands and say 'what the bleep do we know?'
You don't need to prove anything 'scientifically' for it to be real. You just need to experience it. Ask any gnostic - just don't ask them to prove it - they won't, nor should they.
