We're talking next to each other. The problem you're not seeing is that the Oxford dictionary source you linked actually re-enforces my position. In many of their example sentences, they clearly seperate the terms "religious", "agnostic" and "atheist". That's a language authority that agrees with my original standpoint. Agnosticism is a clear third position. For an Agnostic can not only say that the existance of God is unknowable, he can also, very clearly, say he doesn't know. Thus rendering it clear quantum (many options) choice and certainly not binary (two choices).

So if you'd really defend the dictionarym you'd support my argument.

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/agnostic ,arf

"A person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God." ,arf 

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/atheism ,arf

"Disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods." ,arf

Show me, arf. Where does it states it's a third position besides atheism and theism, arf. Show me that knowledge is on the same level / axis as a belief, arf.

Please post a quote, because I don't see it, arf. 

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/belief ,arf

"1An acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof.
Something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion.
A religious conviction.
belief inTrust, faith, or confidence in (someone or something)" ,arf

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/knowledge

"Facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject." ,arf

I really fail to see where you got the infos from, arf. So enlighten me please, arf.

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/agnostic

"Some of us are believers, others are agnostics or atheists."

"Until I can do so I am not an atheist, but an agnostic."

"All individuals (believers, agnostics or atheists) will naturally have a mixture to varying degrees, and they will differ across cultures."

Every single example treats Agnosticism as a third position. Clearly, you've been misinterpreting this definition.
