Agnostics

[robvalue]

I don't understand your objections Wiploc, sorry.

Edit, wait: now I get it, at least the second part. You're making the distinction between what someone believes and what they profess to believe. You are indeed correct. Someone who answers "no" to both questions is professing to be a weak atheist. They may actually not be.

As to the first part, if someone doesn't know what to believe, I'd imagine that means they have no firm beliefs either way. I'm not sure what else you think it could mean. They have no firm belief that there is or isn't gods. If they mean something else, then I don't know what it is. I made the distinction between this and someone who actually doesn't know what they believe; as in they don't have access to their own beliefs. To me, "I don't know what to believe" is a way of not directly saying "no" to the God belief question, for fear of it being misinterpreted as strong atheism right away. Which lets face it, a lot of people do. I would clarify this with any individual.

Of course, they could be lying. They may actually believe in God just fine, or be a strong atheist.
