I'm agnostic but I like to think that there's some god-type-thing.SolidSnake35
Would be nice! but i can't quite believe it so i'm about 99% atheist.
agnostic. Atheism is as good/bad as religion, it's just a mirror. They both preach absolutes and definities, but no one really knows whats out there or whats after that.GenTom
Is that aimed towards strong atheism or both weak and strong atheism?
I am an agnostic atheist.

I am believe in religion.Theokhoth
Did you vote Theokoth? i count 3 believers who have posted but only 2 votes. Want to keep it fair.

So.. agnostic

What absolutes does Atheism preach?
I'm an atheist. I accept that by it's very definition a religion cannot be proven nor disproven, I don't base my decision on scientific evidence. I simply don't BELIEVE that there is a god.Â
I'm honestly not sure. I really don't like the idea of plotting my beliefs into a spiritual "template" like religion or simply saying I'm agnostic.
I don't like the idea of an all powerful being, though I'm not against the beleif of it, so I'm not an Atheist.
If anything else, my belief system is really just a collage of philosophies that I could understand and relate with.
I voted Agnostic for lack of a better term.

This explains it.Â
Atheism does not have to preach absolutes.. neither does theism.agnostic. Atheism is as good/bad as religion, it's just a mirror. They both preach absolutes and definities, but no one really knows whats out there or whats after that.
So.. agnostic

I am an agnostic in the sense that I acknowledge the fact that I don't whether there is a 'god' or not (however unlikely), but I also realize that nobody else knows either, so that makes all religions moot. So technically I am an agnostic atheist? Dunno, I don't really care about labels I guess.Forerunner-117Do you believe in a god(s) yes or no?

No.
Agnostic shouldn't be an option on this poll. It seems that most do not fully understand these terms.
Atheist - doesnt belive in a god
Theist/religous - believes in a god
agnostic understands that he/she can not know wether a god exists are not.
There is a difference between beliveing and knowing something. If someone asks you the question are you atheist and you answer agnostic you havnt answered the question. Its much like if someone asks you are you an american and you answer im a male. Ya you are a male but a male can be american or not.
Much like how agnostics can be religous or not.
and for the record im atheistÂ
Do you believe in a god(s) yes or no?[QUOTE="DeeJayInphinity"][QUOTE="Forerunner-117"]I am an agnostic in the sense that I acknowledge the fact that I don't whether there is a 'god' or not (however unlikely), but I also realize that nobody else knows either, so that makes all religions moot.

Welcome to agnostic atheism. :P[QUOTE="Forerunner-117"][QUOTE="DeeJayInphinity"] Do you believe in a god(s) yes or no?DeeJayInphinity
No.
Welcome to agnostic atheism. :PHahaha, thanks. :P I actually just looked up 'agnostic atheism' on wikipedia, and it seems to sum up my thoughts perfectly. :)
a = without, theism = belief in a god. Atheism = without belief in a god.
Gnosis = knowledge. Agnosticism = without knowledge. Sorry, but there it is.
If you don't positively believe in a deity you are an atheist. If you are utterly confused you're an agnostic. That's my interpretation anyway.
