Agnosticism is merely the opinion that there are some things humans cannot possibly know, so it is rather pointless to speculate about it - the existence, nature and opinions of deities and life after death among them.
Agnosticism says something about what you don't think, it doesn't by itself say anything about what you would think instead.
But a fairly common view of humans among agnostics could be something similar to Humanism (see related link), which basically says that human beings have value in and of themselves.
At least some agnostics would regard this as a much more positive view of humans than the traditional Christian view, which holds that humans are worthless sinners unless and until God grants them mercy, something a human can never deserve or take for granted:
- For I was born a sinner - yes, from the moment my mother conceived me. (Psalm 51:5)
- So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it. (Romans 9:16)
- So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and he chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen. (Romans 9:18)
Although I cannot speak for agnostics in general, I think the idea that
* "most people most of the time are actually trying to do their best"
is a better and more fruitful approach than
* "you were evil from before you were born and nothing you do can ever change it".
