A hypothesis has conclusions... If those "conclusions" when applied in practical terms to explain "observations" and "phenomenons" then this hypothesis becomes a "scientific theory"; this is the "scientific method"!
A scientific theory is falsifiable, that is to call your hypothesis a scientific theory you should be able to answer this question: Give me an example when the theory is wrong?
So lets take ( F=ma ); If you ask Newton to give you an example when he is wrong, this would be the answer: "If you can find a 1-kg mass, moving under net force of 1-N, with acceleration 2-ms-2 then my theory is wrong"; so ( F=ma ) is a candidate to be a scientific thoery!
Similarly if you ask an atheist to give you an example when he is wrong he'd answer: "If the christian god existed then i would be wrong"
But an agnostic cant answer that question!! Saying "God exists or God doesnt exist" cant possibly be wrong! This is a "tautology"; A statement that cant possibly be wrong is called a tautology and does not say anything about the world! Thats why some people call a tautology a redundancy!

So you mean atheists have a scientific theory which is still valid till now, while theists have just hypothesizes, I agree with you
And that’s why agnostics are far closer to be atheists than theist, because agnostics don’t stand against valid scientific theories.
We'r reaching an understanding here :D ,
I think, even if you are not absolutely sure about something, there is rational reasoning which will direct you towards one hypothesis more than the other...
