What is an Agnostic Atheist?
What is an Agnostic Atheist? This question has a few different answers that agree in concept but vary in the details. To more easily understand this particular strand of atheism, lets break the term down into its separate words. First, an atheist is one who does not believe in God. Additionally, the atheist may or may not actually deny the existence of God. Second, agnosticism has two main streams. The soft agnostic does not know whether or not there is a God. The hard agnostic says one cannot know about the existence of God. Some people term this hard agnosticism as agnostic atheism. These definitions of agnosticism leave open the possibility of an agnostic also being an atheist, a theist, or one who endorses neither position. There are several specific beliefs that are within the defined limits of agnostic atheism.
