AgnoApathos: From apathy, a lack of passion or state of disinterest. Those that admit ignorance as to the nature of existence but do not care, as it seems irrelevant in their lives and to them personally. Essentially one who says, “I don't know and don't care” or “I can't know, so I don't care.”
AgnoPathos: From empathy, the state of identifying with or experiencing something vicariously. Those that wish they could believe a given set of principles on faith and/or that they could become a member of a particular religion that they feel close to, but do not feel that they can take such a leap of faith. Christian Agnostics of this variety often associate with “Doubting Thomas.” An AgnoPathos would say, “I wish this was true” or “I want to believe this.”
AgnoMystic: From mysticism, the attempt to directly commune with the nature of existence. Those that admit to their own ignorance as to the nature of existence but who seek knowledge of and/or union with such. The AgnoMystic statement is “I don't know, but I want to know."
Of the three, I like the third the best.
