Ignosticism could be a useful term. I think that people believe they know more than they actually know(no matter what your belief or supposed lack of belief). Terms and labels are only as meaningful as they are understood. We're more than a bit limited in our understanding of the areas of spirituality, religion, perception, and reality.

Ignositicism may be the safest label to put on oneself, but it isn't necessarilly flattering. Claiming utter ignorance may be an act of humility and wisdom, or it could be the claim of the intellectually lazy. I can't imagine anyone literally living in absolute accordance of an ignostic view.
