Adrian,

From what I have read it seems there are four terms (atheist, theist, agnostic, gnostic) and two questions:

1. Do you believe there is a god in any form?
A. yes = theist
B. no = atheist

2. Do you make your assertion from personal knowledge?
A. yes = gnostic
B. no = agnostic

I try to reduce things down so I could explain them to a 13 year old.

What am I missing?
