Literally, agnostic means "without knowledge". Agnostic usually refers to those that claim agnosticism.

Generally, agnosticism is the view in which it is unknown or unknowable whether supernatural forces, such as gods and other deities, are at work. Most agnostics will neither claim that God or gods exist nor will they claim that they do not exist.

Answer:

I agree with above, agnosticism is neither the refusal or belief in a God, but rather a belief that either or is a possibility.

How can you use 'agnostic' in a sentence?

I can understand an agnostic position, but it seems to me that to be an atheist requires just as much faith as a belief in God. Agnostic is an adjective and a state of mind so it would be used to describe someone. I was going to church thinking about god then i realized that i was agnostic. Another example of using agnostic in a sentence is, "How can you use agnostic in a sentence?" Technically, you already used agnostic in a sentence. Oops, I did it too!
