A question about atheistic “beliefs” (opinions, guesses, etc.)

a: that's what you are
and
b: you don't like the word.  

Agnostic atheism, meanwhile, is the position of the vast majority of posters on the board, and, in fact, the vast majority of atheists outside the board as well.

As for "a" above...wrong.

I am NOT an atheist...not an agnostic atheist or an atheistic agnostic.

If you absolutely must apply a descriptor to me (you do not really have to do it) you can use plain old agnostic.

The notion that atheism means the opposite of theism...and that it derives from theism...is a mistake that may have been an intentional mistake on the part of some debating atheists. In any case, that etymology does not hold water.
