It has to do with the belief about the knowability. The knowability
itself either exists or does not exist, independently of personal
beliefs.


Nevertheless, agnosticism is unrelated to theism or atheism. It
measures something different. Everyone who is informed is either an
atheist or a theist, it's just a matter of how strong their belief is
either way.
