Someone who believes that the existence of
god can neither be proven nor disproven, or is completely unknowable at this point. An agnostic makes no assumptions regarding a
god's existence.
An agnostic is also a "weak"
atheist, one who is absent of belief in
god, but also absent of a non-belief in
god.
Common belief dictates that agnosticism is more rational than "strong" atheism, but by this logic, the only "rational" belief would be one of extreme philosophical skepticism in regards to everything, as it is impossible to prove or disprove
something with 100% certainty. I doubt you would find many theistic agnostics, however, who are agnostic in regards to something like the existence of fairies in their backyards. It can therefore be argued that some agnostics are inconsistent in their beliefs.
Agnostic: "Gods existence can neither be proven nor disproven, or is unknowable at this point."
Strong Atheist: "
God does not exist."
Theist: "
God does exist."
Christian Fundamentalist: "lol
