Agnostic........Faith, not faith, lack of....what is it?

I am having to do a paper on Agnosticism, but how on earth can you write two pages on people who may or may not believe any sort of deity exists? Especially trying to make it interesting. my summary: Agnostics believe that there may or may not be a deity out there, but we are not to know because #1 there is no proof and #2 if there is one it doesn't care about us, so we shouldn't care about it. BULL!!! Can you imagine going to one of their churches? and yes, they have churches. What would you have a sermon over? you can't worship something that even you don't believe exists. plus, most Agnostics say that they would become a member of a religion if God could be proved, but isn't that one of the wonderful things about our God and our faith? we don't have prove scientifically that he exists to know he does. we have proof, thats all we need. Another funny thing I came across was the origional religion I had. Our assignment was to pick a religion unlike our own to do a report over to promote religious tolerance. Most of the normal ones were taken when i got there and all that was left were protestant denoms i have belonged to, so i decided on extra-terrestrial religions. Five nightmares later, i switched. There is some weird stuff out there, for example: One of them believes that humans were originally a cloning experiment done by extraterrestrials and dumped here because we didn't think enough. Humans were too stupid back then. Also, we are to clone ourselves as they did (I am assuming when we become smart enough for the space aliens to like us again) so that we may be taken back to the mother planet. This is also the religion with people killing themselves to get beamed up and/or impregnated. if someone is getting impregnated by someone, it's NOT going to be a space alien, I promise. Weird stuff. I also learned that Scientology is extraterrestrial based. Most people don't know it, even members, but at the highest level lies the belief that we came from space aliens and we are to make them happy. plus, you have to pay millions of dollars and recruit alot of people to find this out. sounds a little strange to me.
