23. Speaking as one atheist adjacent agnostic...

My mom dragged me into the Perot for president movement way back. I spent days with a clipboard collecting signatures for her to get his name on the ballot -- mostly by approaching people standing in the lines to the port-a-potties at local events. It was a learning experience. I noticed that the Perot crowd was made up of people too odd to be Democrats or Republicans and those that were too good to be Democrats or Republicans -- or felt that way anyway. I've observed that there are several types of agnostic as well, that have arrived at the position by very different routes.

There's one type that, although they may say they are not angry, are in fact angry at something -- God, or hypocrisy, parents, etc. Then there's the type that have had no non-ordinary experiences in their corporeal stint, and so, naturally, discount anything grounded in mysticism. Then there are the ones that have had enough odd things happen to know that what religions spew just doesn't jibe with the weirdness that is out there.

That's my take anyway, for what it's worth.
