1870 Spectator 29 Jan. 135 The lecture was..perhaps not quite so full as it should have been of his Agnosticism.

1871 R. H. Hutton Ess. I. 27 They themselves vehemently dispute the term [sc. atheism] and usually prefer to describe their state of mind as a sort of know-nothingism or Agnosticism, or belief in an unknown and unknowable God.

1879 T. H. Huxley Hume i. 60 Called agnosticism, from its profession of an incapacity to discover the indispensable conditions of either positive or negative knowledge.

1925 G. K. Chesterton Everlasting Man i. v. 122 But it runs side by side with an almost cryptic agnosticism about the real nature of the gods to be propitiated.

1966 F. C. Copleston Hist. Philos. VIII. i. iv. 111 George John Romanes (1848–94), biologist and author of a number of works on evolution,..passed from early religious belief to agnosticism and from agnosticism by way of pantheism back in the direction of Christian theism.

2003 Times Lit. Suppl. 7 Nov. 9/1 [His] own personal spiritual journey has led him from committed churchmanship to a form of benign agnosticism.
