Atheism, Theism, Agnosticism and Religion

Guys here are 4 words:
Atheism, Theism, Agnosticism and Religion

The boundaries among them isn't crisp. Interpretation of
these words varies person to person.

Here r meaning of these words according to me.
Please help me out to break fuzzy boundaries.

Atheism:
Belief in no God

Theism:
Belief in God

Agnosticism:
Ultimate truth can't be found

Now here comes "God". What word God means. Its
quite difficult to define it, its meaning also differs
person to person. Then comes the religion.

Religion:
Generally meaning of religion is supposed to have faith in God.
But religion in real sense means to find out the truth. Its a
method, procedure to find the truth. Now there can be many
procedures which lead to same objective. So there shouldn't
be any conflict among religions.

Here's another big question:
After all, what's the need of religion ? Why should we find the
truth. There's utter need of religion because:
We born, we live our whole life with many different objectives.

If we achieve certain objectives, then we switch to other
objectives. Life goes on until death arrives. At the end of life,
we couldn't understand the purpose of life. We won the game of
life or lost it, no one knows. Even more clearly we don't even
understand the criteria that decides what constitutes "winning"
and what constitutes "losing".

From this overwhelming confusion starts the journey of religion.

"Whatever may be the position of philosophy, whatever may be
the position of metaphysics, so long as there is such a thing as
death in world, so long as there is such a thing as weakness
in human heart, so long as there is a cry going out of the
heart of man in his very weakness, there shall be religions."

One more thing:
It's generally claimed that if someone has found truth, why he
is not proving it ?
We should realise that proof requires language/symbols.
And language doesn't hold capacity to express every
concept/idea. Can we express "taste of apple" in words
without eating it ?
Our own experience is must to grasp compleletely.
