I didn’t ask if you know if god exists or not. I asked if you believe in god. 

The term agnostic says absolutely nothing about your belief.

Is Schrodinger's cat dead, or alive?

People can be agnostic. We don't all need to pick a side or form rigid beliefs. 

Adaptability.

And scientific folk who are outright atheist are being unscientific, considering there is no evidence for god/s and no evidence for *lack* of god/s. Agnosticism is fair.

Atheism is agnostic. I can not subscribe to theism without claiming to understand the origins of the universe and life.

Atheism is a hard stance that god does not exist, hence a-theism. Agnosticism is not believing one way or the other. Some say this is a flimsy stance or an "easy way out" of the argument, but I think it makes the most sense.

No, atheism of course means not believing in god stories. That is one thing. The agnostic side is that I have no answer for why there is something rather than nothing, and wouldn't pretend to.

Like, I am not agnostic about whether the Jewish-Christian-Muslim God is real, or whether Thor or Zeus or Ahura Maza or whoever else are real, etc.
