You present them with the alternatives, and they decide. And you do not decry any chosen religion or belief because you don't accept them. Neither do you advocate atheism simply because that is your choice.

No the word agnostic means "without knowledge"

At birth I didn't believe in the world outside my experience either, but it doesn't mean it didn't exist.
