Female uncertain about God? That is symptomatic (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diagnostic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is symptomatic' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'female uncertain about god?' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'di' (short for Diana).
'uncertain about god?' becomes 'agnostic' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'di'+'agnostic'='DIAGNOSTIC'

'that' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diagnostic that I've seen before include "Distinctive symptom or characteristic (of a disease)" , "Analytical" , "Indicating the nature of an illness" , "Computer program" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
