It appears you don't actually know what the terms mean.
Go re-read the definition of igtheism. Given that definition, "ignostic atheism" is an oxymoron.
A non-sequitur. So what ? If they say they are agnostic atheists, BOTH terms have specific meanings.
Ignostic atheism is an oxymoron ... read the definition of ignosticism.
Ignostic atheism is an oxymoron.
Read the definitions
Atheism and agnosticism are separate concepts. If someone chooses to use them together, they still remain separate concepts.
Ignostic atheism is an oxymoron.
Atheism: a lack of belief in God
Ignostic: someone who lacks a belief in God, because he doesn’t even know what the term God means, or finds it too ambiguous, or incoherent.
Ignostic: an atheist, whose reasons for their lack of belief is incoherency of the term God/s.
Ironically in your own bio, you refer to yourself as an atheist as well: “Will be one of their first atheist grads”
So pardon me for referring to you as an atheist, even though you referred to yourself as such.
Boom. Mic drop.
That was written and copied a LONG time ago, I may update it some day ... but do go ahead and congratulate yourself, and smack your self on the back ... if it makes you feel good.
You STILL seem to think you get to tell people what they are thinking.
Igtheism dismisses atheism, as atheism gives far too much credit to ancient (mostly anthropomorphized) memes that are undeserving of even a second's attention or energy.
Comparative Mythology knows about the human origins of every one of the gods cooked up in human history.
Why should anyone have to actually go so far as to say the idea that any of them being real is actually is so preposterous, it's beyond description.
Until, or unless, (which will never happen) a coherent definition of any god is proposed, the concept is meaningless and undeserving of even a label, OR the minute it takes to cook up a label.
Do we need to call ourselves apinksparklyunicornists ? No. The gods are no more a valid concept than pink sparkly unicorns. There is no "thing" that is valid in a-"theism".
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
