Quote:The #2 most consistent response concerned the non-theist vs a-theist question. By a wide margin, 31 to 11 at last count, people chose "B-3 I do not believe in gods" over "B-2 I believe that gods do not exist". Presumably, only those who identify as an atheist, chose either of those options. Good to keep in mind the next time we're told that positive belief that gods do not exist is the most common definition of atheism. In terms of what people who self identify as atheist, that simply is not true .. at least not among the people who post here.

Quick question, can you explain to me with precision the difference between saying 'I believe that gods do not exist' and 'I do not believe in gods'? At first glance it seems equal to me, but I thought my answer (the later - I do not believe in gods) was agnosticism so I choose it. Am I wrong?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
