Well I've been a bit short and simplistic, but the fact is that whatever properties you give to God among the generally admitted ones, or even if you limit God to a simple demiurge, you need hints, evidences, or in the absence of material evidence some logical argument.
However there is no hint of the existence of any form of God; nor is there any logical necessity for his existence.
When something has no evidence to exist and no logical reason to exist, of course you may always fancy that it does, but this is empty of meaning or use. Therefore I pretend that "agnosticism" is a lack of decision. Either you want to believe, and do so, or you don't and then you're atheist and there's no need to beat around the bush.
Then of course I'll admit that I'd rather be confrontational than gently neutral, because there is so much to despise, hate about organised religion, that it even poisons good rationalists minds :)
