Strong agnostic. So you know we are not now and never will be in a position to know if gods exist? For someone who sets the bar for knowing high, you don't seem to have any trouble ruling out the possibility of knowing.
I am a weak agnostic as I lack your knowledge as to the possibility of knowledge. Okay, that's out of the way. On to the question of theism.
Do you practice theism or are you without such practices? By saying I am without, I concede that I am without theism and therefore an atheist. Frankly I don't really care what you think you know when asking what you believe. Neither do I care exclusively about your consciously held opinions. When I ask about your beliefs I want also to know whether there is any sign of a belief in gods implicit in your actions, so far as you can tell.
Finding no indication of any belief in gods in my actions and having no consciously held beliefs, I am ready to come out as atheist. How about you?
