Best Answer

There is not really a history of agnostics. Agnosticism is a Greek word meaning "without knowledge". Agnostics do not feel like there is enough evidence, one way or another, to prove or disprove the existence of a god and other supernatural phenomena. There have been agnostic views for as long as atheistic views, and religious beliefs have been around.

There is no recognized 'leader' for agnostics. However, a fair number agnostics are also interested in secular reasoning and philosophy, so many of the great philosophers of the ages (Socrates, Hume, Kant, Descartes) are read and debated by some agnostics. There are also a number of vocal agnostics/atheists who are in the public limelight a great deal, including Richard Dawkins.
