Atheism is belief that God does not exist. Agnosticism is the belief that we cannot know if God exists or not. They are contradictory beliefs and mutually exclusive.

What the bloody hell is wrong with you?!
I happen to be an agnostic atheist. Atheism and agnostism are not mutually exclusive. You just can't accept the fact that people can reject your bullshit and have no burden of proof.

Theos: Belief in god
Atheos: Without belief in god.

It doesn't get any simpler!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
