There are also some subtle variations in agnosticism.

There's the soft variety that says "there is no proof that convinces me either way but I won't rule out that someone could come up with one".

There's the hard variety that says "I don't think it's possible to prove either way".

There's even a variety that says "it doesn't matter whether (a) god exists or not, hence there's no need for a proof".

But yeah, the core of agnosticism is that you don't believe the existence of (a) god has been conclusively proven or disproven and are unwilling to commit either way without that proof.

Seems like it’s gathered quite a wide definition but this is certainly how I’ve always understood it. If I was to ever start a cult I think it’d be based on militant agnostic fundamentalism.
