I've found most people are simply using different definitions. They say agnostic, we would say agnostic atheist. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they are simply agnostic and then go on to talk about their belief in God.
I agree, it's frustrating. I've had that talk several times, with atheists who refuse to call themselves atheists.
All I can is that as long as both parties agree what words mean, the discussion can continue. It's when they still claim to be superior and "different" after you've explained all this that the shotgun comes out. We've had a few elitist "agnostics" on this forum before. They drive me nuts.
I watched this today, it's kind of relevant. Funny and interesting
