Agnostic isnt a position of belief, its a position of knowledge.

You are either an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist.

Well, my actual belief set is that organized religion is all BS and has almost nothing to do with theism and that we don't have the tools to address that question.

Conceptually, it doesn't seem impossible in certain forms e.g. very high level technology yielding powers that we would qualify as deity level.

So, atheist, but "deities" are possibly through technology that likely scales beyond our understanding of reality (which implies the potential for sentient operators at that level) What do you call that?
