Agnostics claim either that it is not possible to have absolute or certain knowledge of the existence or nonexistence of God or gods; or, alternatively, that while individual certainty may be possible, they personally have no knowledge. Agnosticism in both cases involves some form of skepticism.
Demographic research services normally list agnostics in the same category as atheists and non-religious people,although this can be misleading depending on the number of agnostic theists who identify themselves first as agnostics and second as followers of a particular religion.

Thomas Huxley coined the term 'Agnostic' (the opposite of 'Gnostic') as way to describe his own feelings about God. What he means is, "The human mind is not yet far enough down the evolutionary trail to understand the creator."
