is the view that the 

truth values of certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, as well as other religious and metaphysical claims—are unknown. The various definitions of Agnosticism include doubt or a skeptical approach to questions: technically, agnosticism is a stance about the difference between belief and knowledge rather than about any specific claim or belief. In the popular sense, an agnostic is someone who neither believes nor disbelieves in the existence of a deity or deities, whereas a theist and an atheist believe and disbelieve, respectively. Philosopher William L. Rowe states that in the strict sense, however, agnosticism is the view that humanity lacks the requisite knowledge or reason to provide sufficient rational grounds to justify the belief about the existence or non-existence of deities.
