Agnosticism is the 'belief' that there is the possibility of a deity, but you accept the fact that there is also a possibility that there is not. No agnostic firmly believes one way or the other. There are no subreligions of agnosticism, for it is not actually a religion. Just a logical outlook on could be or could not be with regards to a creator force.
"Deism is a philosophical belief in the existence of a God on the basis of reason, and observation of the natural world alone. Deists generally reject the notion of supernatural revelation as a basis of truth and religious dogma."
If Franklin was aware of most of the new discoveries brought forth by modern science, I think it's pretty safe to say he would've been an agnostic.
