Atheist vs. agnostic vs. agnostic atheist

[CapnAwesome]

It seem like Dr. Tyson's objection to the label Atheism isn't really a philosophical objection to asserting that there is no god but rather just the desire to have a less controversial position because it's too much of a pain in the ass to deal with Theists who are on Atheist bashing quests. If society were to move beyond that then no doubt he'd be labeling himself what he virtually admits in that video to being.
