I quite agree that agnosticism is not an adequate response to the question "do you have belief in god(s)"? Nonetheless, I am an agnostic atheist. That means, no, I don't find I have any belief in gods but neither do I have any belief about the impossibility of the existence of god. Agnosticism does not mean you have to believe it isn't possible to ever know. That would be strong agnosticism, not my position. My weak agnosticism means I find no objective basis on which to argue for or against the existence of god. Someone else could look at the same meager objective evidence for or against god and conclude that they nonetheless harbor a strong hunch that there is a god. (Of course, the lack of any positive evidence of gods is overwhelming but what is available to say in response to someone who does believe in god is not.)
I find the great advantage of my position, aside from the fact that it is authentically the one I hold, is that it permits me to interact with people who think differently without harboring a low opinion of them. You might be surprised how subtle and sharp a person may be who, for whatever reason, still harbors a belief in god.
