What religion are you?

Post Reply New Topic

I for instance am an Agnostic Atheist. If you choose other than describe your belief down below. And please enjoy this is just a fun poll please don't fight about your belief with someone as long as it's a healthy argument. No hating!

You should have included "spiritual but not religious". There are more of those type than agnostics.

How does that work out? Isn't it like saying you are a Christian Atheist? It just seems to contradict to me.



Some people get very heated about religion. Something people are emotionally invested in are bound to get people heated up.

You should also have included "None". Since religion is the political expression of faith, and many people here have neither faith nor religion, then it stands to reason that "None" should have been an option. I had to choose "Other" to participate, when the correct response for me would have been "None".

An agnostic atheist is an agnostic who has more atheist view points about god. Atheists strictly believe god doesn't exist but and agnostic atheist doesn't believe in god but knows he can never prove this nor can anyone disprove this. Look it up on wikipedia you can find it there. Also thank you for the irreligious suggestion.

Yeah I'm sorry I didn't add irreligious. I should have...

There seems to be a lot of atheists here. I find this interesting since most intelligent people seem to be atheists.... Coincidence?

Atheizzle fo shizzle

The majority of atheists are agnostic atheists.

(A)gnostic = (no) knowledge as to god's existence (in this instance)
(A)theist = (no) belief in god's existence

I'm a Pagan-Atheist - for clarification;

And for further clarification - non-realism

You're mistaken, I'm afraid.

Atheists lack a belief in god, (hence "a") in contrast with Theists. Full stop.

Those who have a belief that there is no god are called "strong" atheists.

The former exists within the latter, but not at all vice-versa.


Correct. (See above.)

The word has nothing at all to do with proof-
it refers to truth values being to the individual not knowable or not known,
hence the root of the word, "gnos".



"Agnosticism is the view that the truth value of certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other religious and metaphysical claims—is unknown or unknowable. Agnosticism can be defined in various ways, and is sometimes used to indicate doubt or a skeptical approach to questions. In some senses, agnosticism is a stance about the difference between belief and knowledge, rather than about any specific claim or belief. In the popular sense, an agnostic is someone who neither believes nor disbelieves there is a God, whereas an atheist disbelieves there is a God. In the strict sense, however, agnosticism is the view that human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify knowledge whether God exists or does not. Within agnosticism there are agnostic atheists (who do not believe any deity exists, but do not deny it as a possibility) and agnostic theists (who believe a God exists but do not claim to know that)."

Wikipedia- Agnosticism

Negative Atheist = no belief in gods existence.
Positive Atheist = deny gods existence.

I am Catholic.

I chose other. I am non religious.
My spiritual standing is Mystic.

Attempts by people to draw a distinction between strong and weak atheism is only pretty recent. It has been drawn mostly by people who attempting to claim atheism as being the null hypothesis. Traditionally the null hypothesis has been indecision, weak atheism disputes this and I am unsure if atheists are justified in this assertion.

I am pretty much non-religious. I suppose you could say agnostic since I don't know what the origins of the universe or what happens after you die. It's kind of pointless to speculate. I'll live my life as virtuous as I can but if I'm suppose to believe something specific, god would need to beam down from a cloud or something.

A lack of belief in god IS the null hypothesis- the label of atheism isn't needed.
I don't know what the question has to do with "indecision",
but disbelief is perfectly-fitting, I think-
atheists, full stop, lacking belief in both god's existence AND non-existence.
