To be agnostic, you must assert that because something is unknowable, neither party can be correct or have superiority over the other.
I would tend to add to this definition the possibility that the agnostic doesn't believe the answer is unknowable, but only that he does not know it.
M-W supports that, as well, as much as I hate going to a dictionary in a *technical* discussion, as dictionaries reflect common usage, not technical usage. See also: "It's just a theory!"
