Now it makes sense why people hated him so much for being agnostic.

Yes, Carl Sagan expressed views consistent with agnosticism, though he never explicitly used the term to describe himself. He found the concept of a personal, anthropomorphic God ludicrous but acknowledged that if "God" meant the physical laws of the universe, then such a "God" exists. His work and statements reflect a naturalistic worldview, where he did not find compelling evidence for a traditional deity.
