That would be a breath of fresh air to hear this from a theist. Instead, we get theists who know all about what is going on behind the cosmic scenes, while contradicting one another here and there, and all nevertheless claiming authority on the matter.
Such individuals (who exist) are known as agnostic theists. But, "theism" is not well-defined. After all, which god or gods to believe in? Agnostic atheism is, at least, well defined (i.e., "none of the above").
