Agnosticism has never meant "Exactly 50 per cent.‘God’s existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable.’".
Agnosticism has always meant (ever since Huxley defined the term) that the existence of God is unknown or unknowable. Huxley sought out to oppose the people who claimed things like spiritual proof of God, or likewise atheists who claimed absolute knowledge. (http://atheism.about.com/od/aboutagnosticism/a/what.htm)
I don't want you to apologize; it isn't your fault that Dawkins didn't bother to read into the subject when he used a "modern" non-philosophical meaning in what was meant to be a atheistic philosophical book. As people have already argued many times before, there are only two positions on whether you believe in god or not. "Yes" and "no". There is no middle ground, but for the people who honestly cannot make a decision (the apatheists), or those who switch between both as if unsure.
Anyway, I would like to know why "[you] do", why "[you] disagree", and why "[you] disagree". This is a place where people are meant to express their views and explain them...not just reject something in 3 sets of 2 words.
