There is a solid definition for the term, but I only know two Agnostics in my offline life, and they describe what it means to them, a little differently than I do. I consider it to be that no one knows if there is a god or not, and I don't need to know. I'm not thirsting for knowledge to know, either way. I reject all past and present religions' notions of a god, as well.
Curious, how you define it for yourself?
I consider myself an "agnostic atheist", which (for me) translates to I have no knowledge of god, and I will most likely never know if one exists or not. At present, I lack a belief in any god. Get me proof, and I'm all ears. For now, I have no idea, and I have no belief.
It's pretty much "I lack knowledge of deities" (a - gnostic)
"I lack belief in deities" (a-theist)
