Atheos (ἄθεος, from the privative ἀ- without + θεός "god")
Agnostic (Greek: ἀ- a-, without + γνῶσις gnōsis, knowledge)

The term 'agnostic' is useless without defining what sort of knowledge you are without. I consider myself an agnostic atheist, because I don't believe in any deity and I consider it unknowable whether any deities do or do not exist.

OP the problem really lies with the understanding of what Atheism means. If people think that it means 'belief that there is no god' then of course you're gonna run into bullshit, but we know that this is a false dichotomy.

You either believe in something or you DO NOT believe. This is a true dichotomy and it eliminates the standard usage of agnostic as a belief position. If you're gonna bring up agnosticism, then learn what it really means, it has to do with epistemology, not belief, and in fact you can combine the two. I'm an Agnostic Atheist, for example.

pic related, there are four combinations.

Retarded ass agnostics. you cant be JUST agnostic. Agnosticism is just how sure you are about your beliefs.


You still either believe in god or dont believe.
