It would be obvious that people practicing the various religions fall outside the group one would consider agnostic

Well, I sure thought so.

if I'd said that it'd boggle my mind too.

It sure read like you were saying that agnostics are defined by the provability question instead of the belief question. Still does, upon rereading. And, looking at the definitions, I can see how one might hold POV. And, given the range of takes on "provable" (Thomas Aquinas considered it provable), there is always a possibility of a disconnect there.

But I'm glad it was just a misunderstanding and that we're squared away. Sorry to have jolted you with my take on your post.
