To Agnostics, question for you

I wonder why you make that distinction. Why should it matter? Personally, I don't have either on my vanity license plate, nor would I. Neither question from which the labels spring is all that important to me personally. But I might well answer just "agnostic" if the issue in question concerned only knowledge claims, but "atheist" only if the issue was belief. You really do seem to have some issue with agnosticism.

It was.

I think it's possible some god or other might exist but I dont see any reason to believe in them. It's possible fairies exist too but I dont believe in them either.

I was just beginning to wonder if you think of atheism as implying a belief in no gods. I take it the answer is no. (Good. We get enough of that from theists passing through.)
