Stictly speaking, if you are not a theist, you are an atheist.

There's a fine line between "doesn't believe in god," which could be
agnostic or atheist, and "believes in no god," which is unequivocally
atheist.

You've both missed the line between "i don't know" and "i am convinced
it is unknowable" which is unfortunate because the agnostic is
convinced that the existence of God is unknowable, not that God does
or does not exist.

You're wrong. Your definition is unnecessarily restrictive. An
agnostic says he doesn't know. EOS. There may be different varieties
of agnostic, but that's what makes them the same.

You sir are so thickheaded and mistaken that the combination of those
two attributes makes it a waste of time to read farther into your
misbegotten post.
