Enlightened [Elitist] Agnosticism
I've noticed there are some very intelligent and open minded (*sarcasm) people out there who call themselves just agnostics and think both theists and atheists are equally wrong, irrational and close minded.

Here's an article by an enlightened agnostic that knows this shit pretty well and proudly says atheists and theists are the same

Here's a summary:

Quote:When it comes to world religions, I think the Western monotheistic ones are by far the dumbest. It seems obvious that they’re all projections of human traits onto imaginary deities in order to establish cohesive tribal myths. Christianity is probably the most imbecilic major religion ever concocted. As someone who has a son, I can’t see how it’s an act of love to send your own son off to be crucified—if anything, it seems like a punk move. And Islam, with its eternally touchy and pissed-off God, is likewise nonsensical. Judaism, with its whole “chosen people” shtick, appears to be racist, if you’re worried about such things.

Quote:Still, atheism seems to require blind faith in the idea that the universe just occurred at random, that everything suddenly decided to belch forth from the void. It also depends on a blind faith that human cognition is capable of grasping the universe’s origins.

[Emphasis mine]
