Well, this seems mostly right, except that God is a special case. The true appeal of agnosticism isn't that it gives any kind of credence to theistic claims, but that it doesn't deflate the truth value of scientific claims; in other words, agnosticism preserves the hard rationality that atheism ostensibly but somewhat ineptly uses as a foundation.
