Make a religion out of agnosticism? I can't think of any life view less amenable to being made into a religion than agnosticism. Religions, by definition, involve some degree of mysticism and faith in things that can't be observed. Agnosticism demands observable, verifiable evidence before admitting anything into its belief set.
I suppose you could posit that agnostics are "religious" about their insistence on verification of their beliefs, but that's as close as I think you'll realistically come to making a religion of the agnostic life view.
