"i believe in god(s)" theism

"i do not have a belief on the subject of god(s) because there is no means for me to know" agnostic

theist and agnostic are contradictory terms.
atheist and agnostic are contradictory terms.

Not quite.

"I do not know (and maybe there is no way for me to know) whether there is(are) any god(s)." Agnostic

It is compatible with both theism and atheism. Which is why there would be 4 categories:

"I believe in god(s) and know there is one" Gnostic Theists
"I believe in god(s) but have no knowledge on the matter" Agnostic Theists
"I don't believe in god(s) but have no knowledge on the matter" Agnostic Atheist
"I don't believe in god(s) and know aren't any" Gnostic Atheists

There might be a fifth category as well
"I have no knowledge on the matter and hold no beliefs" - Agnostic [we need a new word here].
