Isn't Agnosticism Redundant?

Since neither theist nor atheist knows.

I don't see agnosticism as separate from theism or atheism as one can be an agnostic theist or agnostic atheist.

If you don't see them as separate wouldn't it be redundant? One has no choice but be an agnostic in both, that's why i think it redundant.

The problem is that terms like that can vary in their use. You can say that theism isn't exclusive to Judeo-Christian, atheism is without theism (allegedly) and agnostic is without knowledge, but completely without knowledge and if not what specifically is the knowledge they are without. That neither know for certain whether or not "God" exists.
