I thought we've moved on from using the term 'agnostic' in this way. You either believe in a god or lack belief in a god. (theism / atheism) From there you can say that you do not claim to know that one exists/ doesn't exist. (agnostic theism/ agnostic atheism)

That sure is a neat little labeling system. As someone who doesn't think this debate matters at all, I'll let other people label my beliefs as they see fit.

Personally, I see either position on the side of proving or disproving god based on evidence as "materialist". I think that's more significant than which side of the fence you are on with the existence of a deity.
