agnosticism

The only religion/ non-religion where people give up on explaining on (what they consider to be) inexplicable. Essentially, an agnostic will tell you not to study the principles of different religion or the tenets of atheism, because there is no way that that agnostic can be satisfied with a definitive answer.

agnostic

A person who thinks there is a higher being (such as god), but knows there is no way to prove it exists, or doesn't exist. Most of the people who are agnostic don't really care enough to fully believe in a higher being. It isn't uncommen to see an agnostic going to any form of church, and supporting conservative Christian canidates.
