I do think the agnostic position does, perhaps unwittingly, implicitly accept a finite probability that god(s) do exist.
After all, if I am not agnostic about the existence of Santa Claus, or the idea that there are fairies at the bottom of my garden -- I am "a-Clausist" and "a-fairyist" -- then if I take an agnostic position on god(s), it suggests that god(s) has some better claim to existence than the big red fella and Tinkerbel.
I suppose you could argue that some interpretation of god(s) is more plausible than either of those entities, though, for me, it wouldn't be any of the human-made ones we're exposed to!
p.s. i've been to italy, but only Florence and Milano...very beautiful country!
