Believers in God say there is a God(s)
Atheists say there is no God
Agnostics say "I don't know"

Agnosticism is a neutral opinion about the existence of god or gods. Agnostics believe there is not enough evidence either way to hold an opinion and so neither believe nor disbelieve that there are Gods.

They don't know and say they don't.. They won't vote either way. Gnostics on the other hand believed that special knowledge was required to get into heaven. Atheism is not believing in a God but sometimes that changes when an atheist person is in her/his 80's and fear of the dirt nap kicks in: but the Chaplains in the hospitals take care of this segment of the population oftentimes "Quick I need to become a ____ (fill in the blank) right now!"

I think you need to examine a little further than your current assumptions... Agnostics don't believe, thats why they are agnostics... They don't have enough empirical evidence to proove certain ideas, so they hold the middle ground, until an idea or hypothesis is prooved or debunked... There are permanent and temporary agnostics, though you'll have to check that up on your own..

Agnosticism is a statement about knowledge. It is saying that it is not possible to know one way or the other about the existence of gods.

Agnostics believes in existence of supreme beings, but not sure what type.
Definition of Agnostic :
1. 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.

The technical definitions: an atheist believes that there is no such thing as god. An agnostic believes that the existence of god is possible but not proven -- and possibly not provable.

you can have a theistic agnostic, meaning they believe in god but say they is no way to know about him.
and atheistic agnostic, meaning there isn't enough to know if there isn't a god or not, so they suspend beliefs.

They believe that there can be no proof either that God exists or that God does not exist.

Gnosis is a Greek term meaning "knowing"
Agnostic means "not knowing". They are not sure and have no set beliefs
