Like the proposition, which corresponds to real facts, and has significant warrant...that gods are anthropomorphized characters used as literary devices in the exposition and dissemination of our very human normative beliefs. Put your thumb on them, wait to see if they escape the page.
Thus, I can't be an agnostic, because I don't think this is an unknown or an unknowable. There are no gods in the sense that god believers think they exist. People ask, "what if there's something else, somewhere else, somewhen else, that sortof matches their descriptions if you squint sideways on the winter solstice?" IDK, but we're talking about gods, not whatever the fuck those are, if they are. I imagine they'd think our god stories were a real knee slapper. Fire the writers kindof stuff.
"Bill, Bill, come over here, you have to hear this! Now, human, tell my friend Bill -exactly- what you just told me....about these gods of yours."
