I find it odd that when filling out a form that asked me what my religion is one of the choices is Atheist.

What now? That is the that opposite of religion.

    You’re using the modified definition of “agnostic” that believers favor. We have no reason to accept that.

    “Agnostic” literally means “I don’t know.” “Atheist” means “I don’t believe.” I don’t know that gods are real, and I have no reason to believe they do.

    No faith required.

      The moment you use believe you are in faith territory. Agnostics simply say that having no proof either way, we choose not to believe.

        Right. I don’t believe is my position as an atheist. I don’t know is why.

        How is this so difficult for you?
