What the devil is a "gnostic atheist"?
#1
What the devil is a "gnostic atheist"?
I'm thoroughly confused. There are a couple of threads where people are using the term gnostic atheist. Whilst I can deduce what they mean (although at first I thought it was a typo of agnostic atheist), this usage us new to me. To me referring to a person or belief as "gnostic" is a direct reference to Gnosticism, a now almost extinct but historically relevant branch of Christianity.

Since when did "gnostic atheist" or "gnostic theist" become recognized?
blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” – John 20:26-29
