Other! :-)
I'm sort of a pantheistic, myth loving, hopefully spiritual, nature religionist, in a cosmological "Spinozinian", God as mystery, sort of way.
(smile)
I have no idea about ultimate truth that I think is largely unknowable, yet find my own experiences of life to dismiss the possibility of a God/Man/Being directing the Universe. OTOH, I do think there is much more to the universe than we can imagine.
So, yeah... "other."

Huh. That's weird.... Seems like it's a bit confusing to be one of those... ;)
I think that was me in the past tooo....
Sheesh... I'll be something different next year, no doubt!

Agnosticism states the inability to prove or disprove the existence of a deity. Theism is the belief in God. It can be said that an agnostic theist has no way of proving or disproving God but has a "feeling" that He does exist.

I think it's an intellectually honest position.
So, you FEEL there's a God but you doubt? Do you consider yourself religious (the wiki link said agnostic theists don't)
Read it again, Moniker. There is more than one option there. I'll be back in a few.

Right, I wanted to know where you fall. I read this (below) and asked you if this is where you fall.
Seems like a bunch of different possibilities. So, where do you fall? Are you slightly religious? Not religious? Sometimes more religious? Spiritual? You ARE in a state of doubt? You don't wish to question?
However, this presupposes that agnostic theists consider themselves religious, which most do not.
