In U.S., Decline of Christianity Continues at Rapid Pace

61. Except Agnosticism isn't a religious belief.

It's not a middle ground between belief and non-belief. It's a knowledge position. That definition is built right into the word itself. Gnosis = "knowledge of a deity or deities." Ergo, agnosis is the lack of that knowledge. You either know or you don't. There is no middle ground with that. It's always binary.

The belief position is a/theism. You either believe that deities exist (theism), or you lack that belief (atheism). There is no middle ground with that, either.

I know this will shock most self-proclaimed "agnostics," but nearly all atheists are also agnostics. Even the "agnostic" and theist bogeyman, Richard Dawkins, is an agnostic atheist, by his own admission. Gnosticism tends to be a theist thing.

So which are you: An agnostic theist, or an agnostic atheist? You're one or the other.
