You're right.

wiki Wrote:Agnosticism is the view that certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other religious and metaphysical claims—are unknown or unknowable

Although the wiki article acknowledges that agnosticism is termed alot with 'claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity' it doesn't say that agnosticism is ONLY to do with 'these' claims.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosticism

Sorry but we deal with claims of deity on this site , do we not?
Therefore we are dealing with the meaning of the terms in regards to the question of god's existence.
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
