Agnosticism

There is atheism and theism. Is agnosticism a third position?

It's a position of knowledge, and has nothing really to do with atheism and theism.

Yes, it is a position that says that you can not know if there is a god. What I don't understand is why they just don't call themselves atheists because if they can not know if there is a god then they obviously must lack a belief in one.

Don't forget about Deists in your list! I feel left out!

Agnostics don't believe because if they did they would be either a Theist or Deist.
