To me the whole agnostic concept is loaded with theistic presuppositions. I think it gives to much credence to god claims. If I'm open to the possibility there could be a 'god' who is always just out of sight (or more fundamentally unprovable) I'm basically open to anything. I could be a brain in a vat for instance.

Trusting reality to be as real as we can detect seems the only pragmatic way to go to me.
