What Is an agnostic?
An agnostic thinks it impossible to know the truth in matters such as God and the future life with which Christianity and other religions are concerned. Or, if not impossible, at least impossible at the present time.

An agnostic is someone who says it's not possible to know whether or not there is a god.
Agnostic atheist: This person says that it can't be completely proven that there isn't a god, but at the same time strongly doubts its existence.
Gnostic atheist: This person says that it indeed can be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that there are no gods.
Agnostic theist: This person says that it can't be completely proven that there is a god, but at the same time strongly believes in its existence.
Gnostic theist: This person says that it indeed can be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that there is a god.

No, it is not like an atheist. The term simply means that one doesn't know. So the agnostic simply says "I don't know whether or not there is a God. The agnositc may also believe that no one else can know whether or not there is a God too.

a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.

Agnositc don't put faith into if there is or isn't a god. We realize there is no proof so there can be no solid answer.
