i belive, though i may be incorect, that agnosticism is, by deffinition, not a religion. its literal deffinitoon is a-gnostic, meening non-gnostic, gnosticism being a religion inwhich salvation is attained through knoladge, and the guy who first came up with it simply ment he was not looking for knowledge in that sence(though it was origionaly ment as a joke, and his belifes were somewhat closer to athiesm, which is also not a religion, since by deffinition it meens a(lack of) thiesm(theistic belife).
though icorectly used, it is commonly ment someone who is
A: not sure, not willing to comite either way on the subject of religion
or
B: belives in a higher power(s), but does not conform to a traditional religion or religios practicis.
anyway, thats just my $.02 on the subject...^----raveing lunatic

Agnostic basically means a person who is neither an atheist or a believer.
Agnosticism is basically a suspension of belief in a deity. An agnostic person argues that there's not conclusive evidence of the existence of God, but the agnostic doesn't dismiss the possibility that God might exist after all.
