This is not correct. Let me reproduce the dictionary
meaning of the word agnostic from webster on line:

"a person who holds the view that any ultimate 
reality (as God) is unknown and prob. unknowable;
broadly : one who is not committed to believing 
in either the existence or the nonexistence of 
God or a god"

In other words someone is committed to not care about
ultimate reality. This is not "doubting stage". There
is no doubt in the minds of these individuals as suggested
in this response. They are convinced that the existance
of god can neither be proved nor disproved. I hope the
readers get the subtle actual meaning of the word agnostic.
