    Agnostic means "without knowledge"

    Gnostic means "with knowledge"

    Theist means "belief in God"

    Atheist means "no belief in God"


    Agnostic Atheist = I don't believe in God, and I don't claim to know God doesn't exist, I just don't believe

    Gnostic Atheist = I don't believe in God, and I claim to know God does not exist. {I know God does not exist.}

    Agnostic Theist = I believe in God, but I don't know it

    Gnostic Theist = I believe in God, and I claim to know God exists. {I know God exists}

    Which of these four categories applies to you?

    It's depends on the conception of God

    Conceptions of God in monotheist, pantheist, and panentheist religions – or of the supreme deity in henotheistic religions – can extend to various levels of abstraction:

    as a powerful, human-like, supernatural being, or as the deification of an esoteric, mystical or philosophical entity or category;
    as the "Ultimate", the summum bonum, the "Absolute Infinite", the "Transcendent", or Existence or Being itself;
    as the ground of being, the monistic substrate, that which we cannot understand; and so on.

    -----------------English Wikipedia
    If you mean the first one,then I'm an agnostic atheist,but if you mean the second and last one,then I'm a theist(even not a strong theist)
