Note
A regular plural, formed with -s like any count noun, and it belongs only to the noun, since the adjective agnostic takes no ending. The adjective's looser, informal use, meaning having no firm opinion on something, therefore stays adjectival. As a plural, agnostics usually names people uncertain about the existence of a deity, and it is often grouped with atheists or set against believers.
