Just because you have a problem understanding the difference between KNOWLEDGE and BELIEF doesn't mean you have to take your ignorance out on others.
Let me spell it out for you.
I do not claim to know, with absolute certainty, that a god or gods do not exist. This defines me as agnostic.
Since there is insufficient evidence and reasoned argument to support the claim that a god exists, I do not hold the belief that they do exist. This defines me as an atheist.
What don't you understand?
It depends for me.
Based on our current scientific data, all claims of pet gods of all religions are utter bullshit. Combine that with the knowledge that humans have a history of pulling shit out of their ass, I have no doubt that ALL polytheistic, monotheistic, ghost, spirit, disembodied magical super brains, are BULLSHIT.
I am only and strictly semantically "agnostic" about the future, but even then I do not see how even in the future we will find evidence for any of the bullshit claims made so far.
Right now it makes much more sense that humans make up their superstitions and super natural beings as a childish reflection of their own desires.
