Check Wikipedia under atheist and agnostic. An agnostic is generally someone who does not know what they believe or whether they believe in God at all. Do not confuse the various forms of atheism however. I am an atheist in that, while I don't believe in God, I will not foreclose the possibility of a God because, for me, stating that "there is no God" (as some types of atheists would) is as logically untenable as stating that "there is a God", which has not been proven. Thus, while I don't know whether God exists, I am not an agnostic because I don't believe in one.
Think about it for a while and reflect, but be careful not to label yourself something before knowing exactly what the label means, and how you can explain that label to others (who often have no idea that there are different forms of atheism).
Hope I helped

sounds like your just confused. not necessarily agnostic because your not even sure about that.
Try looking at this:
http://www.gotquestions.org/Christianity.html
Everyone has had their doubts. That is natural. I went to different christian schools and churches and between all of those, I was thoroughly confused. They all seemed to teach different things. I thought of myself as atheist but them something sensible would come up. I get that's how you are probably feeling. Believe the things that can be proved by scripture. Part of being a Christian is having faith which is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you can not see. Ask questions. The unfortunate thing about Christianity is that man has put his own set of doctrines in. You have to decipher what is correct. Im not trying to preach Christianity on you. Just seems like that was te route you were going.The church I have been happiest with and who is willing to answer my questions is this:

I feel like that too. im confused, and i dont agrre with some of the rules God has put down for us, i thought i was christian, but there are some many different branches of christianity that ts hard to decide which i am, if im any at all. What i suggest you do is choose a few religions or branches of christianity that interest you and read up on them. You can then decide which you want to be, until then you have no reliion but dont think you are forced or pressured to have a one, its your choice, and being confused about it is completly natural.

If you consider God your Father, and Jesus your Lord, and the Holy Spirit, your Comforter, then that is all you need. Religion is men on different understanding levels of fellowship. In many cases the understanding within the religion is flawed. I would just ask Jesus to come into your life and show you the way. He will oblige you. He will send the Holy Spirit to guide you and teach you. By the time you understand, you will have no doubts. Just surrender to Him and let Him provide each step for you. The personnel relationship is the neatest thing and it ain't about anyone's religion.

Agnostic-which means you really don't have a belief--flat line. Here is a book that compares some religions that may help you. But Don't All Religions Lead to God? by Green

this is not a question that anyone can answer for you. You need to do some research and find out what your religion i. Yes i Know you have no clue but it is very important that you try to find out I would encourage you to go to more churches weigh your options because as a Christian we have so many diffenrent options to express the way that Jesus Christ have been good to us and you should do some hands on research to find out for your self. So that you can ask yourself " What' s My Religion" and hopefully one day have an Answer.....God Bless

your name suggests you are Christian. however, i think that you believe in God but you don't attribute details, in that case for now you are agnostic. I would take a religion course and do some research and learn about a few religions. i was the same way until i found Islam. And now i feel strengthen spiritually and mentally.

You appear to be young...and are still searching..and that's okay. You need to find a church you are comfortable with.
and go from there.
We all have our doughts about faith espically when we "pray" so hard for things and they don't come through.
Know that : Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
