What exactly means to be an agnostic ??? does it mean that sometimes you believe in the existence of a god...?

Agnosticism is a doubt that there is enough evidence to prove the existence of god one way or the other.  There are both atheistic and theistic agnostics.  The atheistic agnostics believe there is no conclusive evidence, but lean towards atheist conclusions; theistic agnostics also do not think there is conclusive evidence, but lean towards there being a god, just an unknowable one.  A common criticism of agnosticism in general is that by avoiding a choice, you are still choosing, in effect choosing atheism.

An agnostic is a person who feels that God's existence can neither be proved nor disproved.  An atheist is a person who does not believe in a higher power at all.

A good point. Religions are supposedly faith-based, but then tack on requirements to keep that particular label. Even an agnostic has to meet the requirement of believing there is no God, so I guess the answer is no religion meets the parameter of not requiring anything to be a part of it.

I am an atheist or an agnostic depending on the definition of God one starts with.  I do experience very deep emotions about the world around me, and I in fact feel an affinity and a connection to a religious denomination called Unitarian Universalism, which is open to people like me, and which tends to eschew the mention of God in its services.  I suppose my affinity to that denomination says something about my moral values: I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every human being.  Also, as an atheist, I am fond of Judaism, simply because of the old adage according to which atheism is but a branch of Judaism, not because of any particular religious beliefs orthodox Jews may hold.

Someone who is against religion is called "unreligious" or "irreligious". An antitheist COULD refer to someone who is against religion.\n\nAn agnostic is someone who neither believes in any specific deity, nor denies any specific deity's existence. Agnostics are neutral or undecided in terms of religion.\n\nSomeone who is jaded is void of emotion or is incapable of love.\n\nNon-denominational is a type of Christian that does not conform to an organized denomination of the Christian faith (i.e. Catholic, Protestant, Mormon, Baptist, etc.), and interprets the Bible individually as he/she feels the Bible is supposed to be interpreted.\n\nSomeone who is anticlerical is someone who opposes the influence of religion in political affairs, and supports the separation of church and state.\n\nA materialist is a philosophical term that can be coined as someone who is similar to an Atheist's view of religion, or it can refer to someone who believes physical well-being and material possessions are the greatest good and of the highest value in life.\n\nAn apostate can refer to anyone who has abandoned their religion, or their their political party, or principles, or a cause.

No, I lack belief in all gods that I've come across so far. It's not possible for me to believe in something if I haven't seen/experienced/perceived anything that makes me think it exists.\n\nTo akpajuju, what if you believed in the wrong god and that god treated idolatry much worse than simply lacking belief? Or what if there is a god that respects honest lack of belief due to never having seen any evidence, but condemns insincere profiteering people who "believe just in case"? You're no "safer" than an atheist. Also it isn't a choice, I can no more choose to believe a god exists than I can choose to believe I'm sat on the back of a unicorn right now.

An atheist does not believe in a higher power.  An agnostic isn't sure if there is one or not, and typically an agnostic doesn't go seeking for spirituality or answers to that question.

I think you may have your terms a little off.  \n\nAn agnostic is someone who feels that the belief in a diety cannot be proven therefore his or her own belief is one of ambivalence. They don't necessarily have faith, but they don't necessarily deny God's existence either.  They are simply saying they don't know.  \n\nA person who has a belief in a diety, but feeling the existence of that diety, or it's characteristics is unknowable would be a mystic.

Yes, if you didn't question His existance every now and then, then I would have to question whether you believe in Him or are just following what others have told you to believe. Questioning is a part of being human - curiostity, you must think logically and a lot of matters to do with good are not always logical, but I think that these matters are outside of our realm of understanding and I figure that it may be for the best. So yes I believe in God (don't really fear Him as much as some people) but I think it is healthy to question His existance to create a better, stronger belief.

A deist. \n\nA deist is someone who believe in a higher power, but an agnostic is someone who doesn't know, or think it's important/relevant to know if there is or is not a higher power.

Agnostics are merely people who question and are thoughtful. Very nice and friendly too. Many on Yahoo! answers are lovely people.

no relataion at all... religion believe of some supernatural and high form of being away from human understanding , atheists are non believers.....\n\n\nReligion is commonly defined as a group of beliefs concerning the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the moral codes, practices, values, institutions, and rituals associated with such belief. It is sometimes used interchangeably with "faith" or "belief system"[1] In the course of the development of religion, it has taken many forms in various cultures and individuals. Occasionally, the word "religion" is used in the more restrictive sense of "organized religion" — that is, an organization of people supporting the exercise of some religion, often taking the form of a legal entity\n\nAtheism, in its broadest sense, is an absence of belief in the existence of gods. This definition includes both those who assert that there are no gods, and those who make no claim about whether gods exist or not. Narrower definitions, however, often only qualify those who assert there are no gods as atheists, labeling the others as agnostics or simply non-theists.\n\nThere is no single ideology that all atheists share, nor are there any institutionalized rituals or behaviors. There are certain individuals whose religious or spiritual beliefs some might describe as atheistic, though those holding such beliefs do not normally describe themselves as atheists.

I'm a Christian. Also I might be mistaken but you cant be agnostic and atheist. agnostic is not sure God exists. Atheist means you are sure that God doesn't exist.
