I call myself an Agnostic Atheist because agnostic only means without knowledge. But makes no point about what they are agnostic about. I may be talking about leprechauns for all anyone knows when I just call myself agnostic.
So I throw the atheist on the end. Also known as a "weak" atheist. A strong atheist is when you make the positive claim that god does not exist. I can't honestly make that statement.
The general public thinks of an Atheist as what a strong atheist is. And they think of Agnostic what an agnostic atheist is.
Around other atheists, I say I'm atheist or agnostic atheist. Around theists I say I'm agnostic. They take the term atheist as an attack on them a lot of times, even if you're just minding your own business.
I just don't want to deal with their shit all the time. So yeah, I'm an "agnostic", Mr. Mormon. Now go screw off.
