Never thought of it this way...
Properly considered, agnosticism is not a third alternative to theism and atheism because it is concerned with a different aspect of religious belief. Theism and atheism refer to the presence or absence of belief in a god; agnosticism regers to the impossibility of knowledge with regard to a god or supernatural being.
The term "agnostic" does not, in itself, indicate whether or not one believes in a god. Agnosticism can be either theistic or atheistic. From Atheism: The Case Against God by George Smith
