Well, then it's clearly possible to be an agnostic Christian by that

agrees that there is no proof of the existence of God.
Certainly is possible. Huxley coined the term, and while it has come
to mean "not really sure" or "believe there's sort of something",
it's originally the position that the true nature and existence of
the deity is unknowable and unprovable. It's separating what we can
know from what we believe. It's probably the only honest philosophy
to have if you're a scientist.
