Agnosticism vs Atheism

Tagged:  •    •    •  

Agnosticism is the philosophical view that theological claims regarding the existence of God, gods, or deities—are unknown, inherently unknowable, or incoherent, and therefore, irrelevant to life. It is also used to describe those who are unconvinced or noncommittal about the existence of deities as well as other matters of religion.

Agnostics may claim that it isn't possible to have absolute or certain spiritual knowledge or, alternatively, that while certainty may be possible, they personally have no such knowledge. Agnosticism in both cases involves some form of skepticism towards religious statements.

Atheism, in its broadest sense, is the absence of theism (the belief in the existence of deities). There is no single ideology that all atheists share, nor does atheism have any institutionalized rituals or behaviors. Today, atheism has become relatively common in many parts of the world, especially in western nations.

So, as you can see:
Agnostic= unsure about god/s and/or religion
Atheist= does not believe in god/s

Just thought I would clear that up, some people seem confused.
