With the former statement I am claiming a lack of belief, for whatever reason, in you having a $50 in your pocket. I need to be convinced before I'll believe you have it. Witht the second statement, I'm already convinced you don't have it.

You're not wrong. You're an agnostic atheist: doesn't know, doesn't believe. An agnostic theist doesn't know, but believes anyway. You're an agnostic because you don't know, and an atheist because you don't believe.

Helpful?

Bingo! Then there are those of us who are generally agnostic atheists, but gnostic aJewish, aChristian, and aIslamists. I don't have a belief in a deity, and I don't believe in the god of Abraham, Isaac, Jacab. I'm also a gnostic atheist as to Thor, Zeus, and a host of others.

I wonder if your aChristianity et al are based on fundamentalist versions of Christianity. (I assume it is possible to be an agnostic Christian who understands the bible allegorically. Not that anyone hears from this sort of xtian very often.)
