Also, agnostics are not atheist. Alt.atheism on usenet says they are just a weak theist.
Also, I didn't say agnostics were atheists, I said most atheists are agnostics. There's subtle but very important distinction.
A "weak" theist is still a theist, not an atheist.
Sorry didn't get that.
Found this "Agnostic atheists are atheistic because they do not hold a belief in the existence of any deity and agnostic because they claim that the existence of a deity is either unknowable in principle or currently unknown in fact."
That is close to what I believe. There is so much I do not know. Learning though that is why I am here.
