I'm not sure about this. By this definition i would be considered an agnostic, yet i do not believe in a deity. Just because it is unlikely to be proved one way or another does not mean you can't attribute likelyhoods to things happening.
I would say that i have no religion. No ifs or buts. I do concede that my position can never be proved, but i don't consider that makes me agnostic. I have never heard my furniture chatting to each other about what they got up to at the weekend, but that doesn't make me agnostic about the matter. Even with no proof either way, i think that this does not happen.
My mum used to call herself agnostic to people if they asked, just to cut off conversation. She felt that to call herself an athiest would be inviting an arguement.
