Regzeiver, I beg to differ. Theism is the belief in God (or whatever), so atheism is an anti-belief. It is the belief in a non-religious system; a positive belief that there is no God (or whatever).
Gnosticism is the posession of some spiritual knowledge; the idea that you know (or, at least, believe) the truth about the spiritual state of the universe. Thus, agnosticism is the lack of any spiritual idea at all.
If you positively believe that there is no God, you are an atheist.
If you haven't made up your mind either way (or don't plan to at all), you are an agnostic.
And Johnny Rotten, my imagination is just fine. I can imagine a God. But I can also imagine purple giraffes hunting little green men on the sweeping plains of the Antarctican steppes. It doesn't mean I believe either exists. If I have a lack of imagination, then you have a distinct lack of conviction.
