Show me one academic philosophical work that takes atheism and agnosticism to be compatible. You won't, because that understanding of the terms is functionless/ambiguous.

Stop reading Hitchens and Dawkins. They are not philosophically sophisticated. Try Mackie. Or Oppy. Or Plantinga. Or Swinburne. All are respected philosophers. The first two are atheists. All know how to use the words.

And watch this. And stop browsing Reddit.

I practiced Buddhism for a couple years before I went atheist. I could probably transition back to Buddhism pretty quickly, seeing as it's basically just "detach yourself from any emotions you could ever feel for any reason ever"

'Converting' conceptually implies a conversion between two members of the same class; namely religion. How do you "convert" from non-religiousness to a new religion?
