Maybe not even that. All I need is: Doubting; therefore, doubting exists.
I mostly bring this question up because in debates Christians will frame the debate as naturalism vs theism; furthermore, apologists will make it seem like the atheists and agnostics are committed to a worldview and that atheism/agnosticism do or dies based on that view. If naturalism is inadequate then atheism is inadequate; however, I see no good reason to assume that at all. An atheist/agnostic could be a non-naturalist, supernaturalist, or none of the above.
