NJ,
For myself, I only opted for agnosticism because atheism seemed so definitive.
Atheism doesn't necessarily mean a belief that god doesn't exist. The correct derivation of the word is a-theism, or non-theism. I accept deities may exist & yet I'm an atheist. I don't accept the existence of god because there's no valid evidence, that doesn't rule it out.
Agnosticism is the belief that no evidence can ever be available either way.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world; those that understand binary, & those that don't
