Sorry for the late entry.
What I find interesting is the jump to acceptance based on the society they're living in.
The Christian becomes a Christian or just "is" a Christian in a Christian environment participating in a Christian society.
The agnostic looks at the Earth and sees many systems, many histories. This creates an opportunity to explore, perhaps before making a decision. Although for the most part, in my opinion, the journey never really ends.
I believe those two observations may hold the fundamental differences between a need, if you will, for knowledge and an acceptance based on faith.

Re: Sorry for the late entry.
I didn't overlook it. I agree. That's why I said "in my opinion" the journey never really ends.
Certainly for some they find a religion and are at home with it. I think that's excellent and I would commend anyone that takes a truly unbiased journey in learning about a great many religions and is able to pick one.
