Or do anything due to their awareness of their agnosticism?Sure you can "share your awareness" but how that addresses what compels or motivates is a mystery. The whole point of this little excercise is to manufacture parity between goddities and non-belief or lack of knowledge. There is none. I've explained very simply why - I've done 90% of what you would need to do to manufacture that parity - and you chose not to follow up.
Plenty if people agree with me Rhythm.
god, god, god, god, god - therefore (a metric shitload of garbage follows from a metric shitload of god garbage)
I don't believe, therefore - ?
I don't know, therefore - ?
While some aren't begrudging you your use of language because it's easy to understand what you -mean-, I am, because I've already seen, in two threads - what you desperately want to conclude- and it is a conclusion that you simply cannot reach without first greasing the hole(something you've clearly realized).
Quote:An awareness or knowledge of an agnostic identity or an atheist identity can motivate people and it is something that they can have knowledge of and thoughts on... These knowledge and thoughts (alongside others) can cause someone to do something because they know they are atheist...You keep claiming this, but you can't come up with anything that follows.
Quote:I know I am atheist therefore if someone asks me if I am atheist I will say yes.Compelled by a question, compelled by an urge to answer a question honestly. For example, if someone thought that it was none of your business they could both be an atheist and refuse to answer. If they wanted to yank your chain they could both be an atheist and tell you that they are Jedi - just for shits and giggles.
Quote: The awareness of the atheist identity was important above... Alongside other things too but take away the awareness of the atheist identity and it is easy to see how this could make someone different.... And and its plain to see that this knowledge of an atheist identity can motivate...B-mine
No, it isn't easy to see how this could -make- someone different in anything beyond the status of whether or not they believed in a god. Which is probably why it's difficult to point out an atheist in a crowd.
There you go again, reasserting what you must demonstrate. Pages and pages and pages of this shit.

Quote:* add the knowledge back to the person that they are atheist and it is plain to see that knowledge of an atheist identity is clearly knowledge that can affect behavioirYour own bit above (that I bolded) comes back to haunt you. More reassertion. It should be blistering easy to fill in the blanks by now - with as many times as you've claimed that it is plain, clear, etc.
Quote:It's not rocket scienceI agree. Non-belief and lack of knowledge are not actionable. Something else is required. Meanwhile, god belief and god "knowledge" are highly actionable, and the justifications for any action are long daisy chains of god this god that. This is not rocket science.
