No, I've been a nonreligious theist for a long time.  I'm not sure who you'd be thinking of.

^^^^^^^^^

Speaking for myself, this is a more accurate category than 'agnostic'.

It means you believe in some kind of god or supreme force, but not necessarily in a religious fashion.

A theist is simply one who believes that there exists a god or some gods; it's the opposite of "atheist" - "a" means "without", so "atheist" means "without belief in a god or gods".

I don't understand 'Atheistic Agnostic'... it's like saying "I'm not indecisive enough to be a mere agnostic, so I'll add 'atheistic' to my self-description to be even more indecisive!"

Just kidding agnostics.

A thing I read had four designations, actually; they were as follows:

Gnostic theist - There is a god, and I know that there is a god.
Agnostic theist - I think that there is a god, but I'm not sure.
Agnostic atheist - I don't think that there is a god, but I'm not sure.
Gnostic atheist - There is no god, and I know that there is no god.

To be "gnostic" means that you think you know something as a certainty; to be "agnostic" means that you don't think you know something as a certainty.

Christian (Roman Catholic)

Has anyone else run into this?

This happens to me often.  When someone asks me what church I go to, I answer Catholic.  I have had so many respond, "I'm not Catholic, I'm Christian."  Which, of course, gets them a lecture on Christian history from me.

But when I ask what religion someone is, far too many respond with denomination instead of the broader religion.
