What agnostics do is apply that principle to the mundane things of life, but refuse to apply it to the important things of life. Which is irrational. That makes no sense. I believe that swimming is good for me. I have sufficient data to support that, quite a lot of data, really, but I don't know for sure. I'm satisfied, though, that it's best for me to keep swimming. I also believe that the Father God is a myth. I have sufficient data to believe that, more the inexplicable absence of data to the contrary, but I don't know for sure. I'm satisfied, though, that saying the rosary would be a waste of my time. That makes me a swimmer and an agnostic. Same difference. Both quite rational.
