A lot of times atheism and agnostic are similar enough that people group them together. And through a quick search it seems that agnostic is a branch of atheism and can be referred to as agnostic atheism. And through your definition they are quite alike. Agnostic are still on the disbelieving side, just a smidge more open than true atheists. That’s my understanding of it anyways. Religion is a bit of a gray area. I have never given my faith (or lack there of) an official title…I don’t truly identify or label myself with any group. But I lean somewhere in between agnostic and atheistic views. Just my personal opinion of course. I’m a bit of a skeptic and believe there needs to be physical proof in order for me to dedicate my life to something (like a religion). But I have a lot of respect for people that have that faith. ---

Yeah, this discussion probably isn’t worth continuing at this point. I don’t have a high opinion of modern science, which is 25% politics, 70% profit, and 5% actual scientific methodology. [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/religion-poll-questions/10522.md?page=1)
