"Agnostic" means "not knowing" and that is generally what we believe. We don't know what is out there, and some of us, frankly, don't care, but either way it is impossible to know for sure while we're alive. There may be a Supreme Being, there may be five of them, or there may not be one, but we don't know and we don't think it impacts our lives very much anyway.

A person that is agnostic is not committed to believing in the existence or nonexistence of God. Agnostics believe that any ultimate reality (such as God) is unknown and is probably unknowable. It can also refer to someone who is not willing to commit to an opinion about anything in general also.

It means without knowledge. Agnostics feel that there is not enough evidence to prove or disprove God's existence.

What do you call one who believes in nothing at all?

An atheist is someone that does not believe in a specific religion, but some of them still believe in the existence of a higher Begin. A person who we call a Agnostic is a person who does not believe in anything at all. The English term "agnostic" comes from the Greek word "agnostos," which means, "to not know." An agnostic is one who admits, "I don't know." People who call themselves Agnostic's, are the people who are not afraid to admit that they do not know for sure that there is no God. They would just rather live in the now and believe in what they experience around them.
