The agnostic merely takes it on faith that there is no way to determine if God exists or not, since he admits that he cannot know.

Actually, religious folk also admit there's no way to determine if God exists, hence faith, something believed. Much of life is faith based. In plane geometry, a postulate is a statement accepted as true. Postulates are not proven, nor can they be proven. You either believe them, or you don't, or you have no opinion. But, if you don't accept them, you can't enter the realm or plane geometry.

Has there ever been anyone who didn't accept the truth of postulates? Hard to imagine much of a controversy on that.
