From agnostic perspective, it can very well be there is a God/Creator/Lord, but that he hasn't given us knowledge of his existence. If this is true, and we are to be honest to ourselves, then it would prefer we don't believe in him unless one day we come to realize he must exist.
In this instance, agnostics that withhold belief, are being honest to themselves. Therefore they are doing something more noble then tricking yourself into following a religion, because, there is possibly consequence if you don't.
I wouldn't wager with my honor.
A little deistic, but what if we were created by a god, and that god really didn't want anything to do with us, and just sort of went away? Didn't set up a heaven or hell, just this plane of existence, and then just left to make new ones?
As an amateur artist, I can sympathise with that kind of god.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
