Person1: Praise *name god here* !
Person2: There is no such thing as "god".
Person1&2: What do you think?
Person3: If there's a God, awesome. If there isn't, a lot of people are going to be pissed. I really don't care either way. I'm agnostic.

The term 'agnosticism' was coined by Professor T.H. Huxley at a meeting of the Metaphysical Society in 1876. He defined an agnostic as someone who disclaimed both ("strong") atheism and theism, and who believed that the question of whether a higher power existed was unsolved and insoluble. Another way of putting it is that an agnostic is someone who believes that we do not know for sure whether God exists. Some agnostics believe that we can never know.
"Weak atheism" is simple scepticism; disbelief in the existence of God.

One who is neither ignorant enough to believe that there is a god, nor self centered enough to believe that if there was a god, he would give a flying fuck about what they do on sundays, what they eat on fridays, and what kind of facial hair they have.
Im agnostic.

Just because people have different religious beliefs than that of yourself (agnostic, atheist, muslim, christian) gives you no right to make them feel terrible.

Being agnostic makes you open to the possibility that there may or may not be a God, however, it extends to all ideas considerable.
