Would I be considered agnostic?

[SunnyDay16]

I was born and raised to be a Christian, but I don't consider myself one anymore because while I believe Jesus was indeed real and died on the cross I'm not sure about the religious doctrines. I don't go to church and don't want to really nor do I care much for organized religion. I'm not really a spiritual person either, but I do consider the possibility of a "higher being", be it called God or Allah or whatever. Would I be considered an agnostic?

Definition:
a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.

Agnosticism is the view that the existence of God, of the divine or the supernatural is unknown or unknowable. Wikipedia

Nope. Yet IMO you come off as a spiritual person, much like myself. It's not a crime, whatever you choose to call it.

My own belief system meanders in and out of religions, yet I choose not to be a part of any of them. After all, fellowship doesn't strike me as a necessary requirement to acknowledge a diety. That's just a mortal convention IMO.

I just figure the sanctity of my immortal soul is between me and God and no others. Certainly not any mortals on this plane of existence. Call it what you want- or not.

I don't think you can call yourself trinitarian Christian if you don't believe that Jesus is God, but that doesn't mean you are agnostic. Maybe you believe in a god, but no particular religion or maybe you should explore other belief systems and find one that suits you. Agnostics believe that there is about equal chance that a god exists or does not exist, and that neither can be proven.

I think you could use the word agnostic since you merely consider the possibility of god. Believing that there is a yes or no answer to that possibility and then no, you wouldn't be agnostic. I used to refer to myself as agnostic, then atheist, then apatheist, and now sometimes pandeistic though before that term I used pantheist. Seems None is a rather popular and noncommittal description that gets used a lot. But I like bigger words so I enjoy trying to find something more amusing to me than just None. Notice I merely want to amuse myself, I actually don't feel a serious, deep need to label my beliefs/non-beliefs. I just enjoy words.

Is that of the New Reformed Southern or the Left of West Synod of the New Constructionist Convention variety??? Let's sometime discuss the various sub species of Pygmy Plains Grizzlies living in North America. My favorite is the Eastern Ground Grizzly. Smallest of them all but has a very nasty bite.

I used to call myself "non-denominational pagan" because I liked that it ended conversations about religion with the religious people that I knew. I was actually more or less agnostic at the time, or maybe just apathetic.

I think it could be classed as agnostic,i am agnostic and while I think that there is a possibility of a god I also think we will never know for sure.
