An agnostic is someone who is unsure as to the exisitance of a god/gods or belives it is impossible to have a certain knowledge of the matter, not someone who doesn't believe in religion.

As to pagan, its 'defintion' will change on how the particular soceity (meant in the broadest terms) has constructed the word. It has no concrete defintion as such, so it could mean Earth religions, but equally is has been used to include polytheistic religions, even modern ones.
