Quote:the spectrum of theistic probability is a way of categorizing one's belief regarding the probability of the existence of a deity.
Belief and knowledge may be correlated, but not enough to call them the same thing. An agnostic is not someone who is on-the-fence about whether they believe or disbelieve in a god. It is someone who realizes the limits to knowledge about the question. They may or may not choose to believe, for reasons other than knowledge.
Maybe Wikipedia has too many pages; here's a more specific link for those who are interested:
Wikipedia -- Spectrum of theistic probability
Maybe you intended that in your post.
