As the philosophy of Agnosticism is the personal philosophy of Thomas Huxley - no part of what he said has has any collective influence on current political issues. If you are Agnostic then you should have read enough about Huxley to know that.
If you were Agnostic at all you would not think that Atheist thought about God the way you do. At best you are an unsure non-believer. Just drop the Agnostic label until you know what Huxley said Agnosticism is.

you are trying to mix religion and politics.. and they don't mix.. There is only one thing you need to know.. the Christain bible is not the law of the land. Things like abortion and homosexuality are not permitted by the god in the Christian bible but both are allowed in america. hope that makes sense.
