Yeah, but agnostic is not a statement of belief/non belief. Both theists and atheists can be agnostic. "Just agnostic" is a refusal to answer the question "do you have an active belief one or more god exists", or to use different definitions of words. Many people misunderstand these terms.

Of course, you're not obliged to answer the question anyway.
There's actually 3 positions, 2 of which are atheism.
Question 1: Do you have an active belief there are one or more gods?
Question 2: Do you have an active belief there are no gods?
Position 1: Y, N: Theist (Could be agnostic or gnostic)
Position 2: N, N: Agnostic atheist
Position 3: N, Y: Atheist (Could be agnostic or gnostic)
Everyone is in one of those 3 positions by definition, but of course they are not required to state which if they are not comfortable doing so. I would be pretty confident putting you in position 2, it applies to all "just agnostic" people in my experience. As I said, they are essentially dropping the "atheist" part.
Hey, I liked that, I'm gonna put that on my website
And indeed yes, what we consider right and wrong certainly does change. Hopefully, we improve. I think generally we do.
My wish is my command! And so it appears.
