I've heard quite a few definitions of agnostic (most of them wrong), but "not taking a position" I don't think is one of them. The closest would be "maybe God exists", which is partially accurate, although not wholly.
The correct definition is "the view that the existence of god is unknown or unknowable. It deals solely with knowledge and not belief so agnosticism is not a belief and therefore not related to theism or atheism."
