Quote:You're agnostic because you have no knowledge that a god exists. An atheist goes beyond simple lack of knowledge with the assertion that there are no gods. That assertion requires knowledge, evidence, rationale, something.No they don't . An atheist can be someone who lacks belief in god (negative atheism ) . But and agnostic atheist is someone who lacks belief in god but claims no cetainity in his rejection .
Negative Atheism - A lack of belief or rejects the claim of theism
Agnosticism - Not claiming certainty about said rejection of theism
Quote:I don't know why atheists take nomenclature so personally; it's just a label to succinctly convey information about an ideology. Why does it matter if the label is spelled a+t+h+e+i+s+t or a+g+n+o+s+t+i+c???Because ones about a lack of belief the other is about a lack of certainty . And one can be both.

jgbrjebt = person who believes no gods exist.
The second is a nihilism
The third is Positive Atheism
Quote:Pick one. Why does it matter how it's spelled? Why contort atheism to mean agnosticism?No i don't have to pick one .as they mean different things. One is a question of belief the other is a question of confidence .

Positive atheism - The belief that no god exists
