no, more like "mostly atheists and christians."

With 98 votes, we have 53 Atheists + Angostics. That is a simple majority at more than 54%. We can give official minority religion status to Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Satanism.  Grin

What about Pastafarianism? The Flying Spaghetti Monster is not pleased... repent sinners, before It reaches for you with his noodly appendages!  Grin

that makes completely 0 sense to me. an atheist believes in something - that there is no god.

That is usually called strong atheism or positive atheism, in simple terms atheism is just the absence of belief in some kind of deity.

see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism

Quote
Most inclusively, atheism is the absence of belief that any deities exist.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnostic

Quote
Agnosticism is the view that the truth values of certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, as well as other religious and metaphysical claims—are unknown or unknowable

Well, to his point, your quote only states that it is the "absence of faith", not a "faith" that something does not exist.

yeah, as i said in a previous post to him.. don't lump agnostic and atheist together. they are not the same thing. coming from an agnostic person, i view atheism to be more like christianity, for example, than it is to agnosticism.

theism = yes
athiem = no
agnosticism = maybe.. i'm not sure.

Wrong!

Theism = belief in a god or gods

Atheism = Lack of believe in god or gods

Gnosticism = Claim to have knowledge

Agnosticism = Claim to have no knowledge

how is what youre saying any different from what i am?

Because agnosticism is not a "maybe"... Or maybe I've misread what you wrote...

if you have no leaning - one way or another - then isn't the default answer "maybe"?

No, if someone has no leaning he has no belief and that's an atheist.

wow
bitcoin users are godless creatures Cheesy
With great knowledge comes Agnosticism.  Tongue

Just looked at the poll. Holy shitballs! I didn't realize there were so many agnostics using bitcoin. I'm impressed!

nah,nah,nah

hold your shibas, it's much atheists Cheesy

atheists outnumber agnostics almost 3x Cheesy

theism = yes
athiem = no
agnosticism = maybe.. i'm not sure.

So it's ok to believe in a god or not be sure, but if you don't believe there is one that's not ok?

mate.. i am neither a religious nor an anti religious person. i don't believe in either.. not sure why you interpret me as only anti atheist.

Quote from: rhino34567

I believe the main difference is that Atheism is flat out denial of any theism while Agnostics just say that there may be a god, there just isn't any real way to know.

This is just my thought exactly. There is no better and simpler way to say what Atheism and Agnosticism is about. And I am agnostic.

I think that is not what he meant at all. He was trying to define what each religion thought of a higher power, not how acceptable it is Tongue.
He certainly did not succeed in doing this. He's lacking English skills to do so.
