That is what the gnosticism covers in gnostic atheist. Gnostic = knowing, agnostic = not knowing. It is possible to be and agnostic theist, you don't know if your god really does exist, but you believe it to be the case.
And EvF, look out for your capitalization of the word god, theism and atheism doesn't cover just one particular god.
