There's a major difference between "It's unknowable" and "I don't know...maybe..."

There's no such thing as an Agnostic Christian, Muslim, or Jew. There IS such a thing as an uncertain Christian, a confused Muslim, and a wavering Jew. But if you're really agnostic then you drop the Christian, Muslim, and Jew parts. How can you be a non-believing believer?
You most certainly can be an agnostic theist. All agnostic means is that you believe that knowledge and proof of god aren't attainable. An example of a christian agnostic would be someone who follows one of the apologetic lines of thought that go "Knowledge of God may be impossible, but faith requires me to believe anyway, so I believe".
