A person who claims to be "
agnostic" but does not know what the word "agnostic" means, what "gnostic" means, and best of all, likely doesn'
t know what "theism" or "
atheism" mean to make the complete package. For bonus points, they also like to infer that the word addresses specifically a
single subset of religions that they grew up around.
If identify as an "agnostic" to others. you are probably ughnostic. The reason is that "agnostic" is a fairly useless term. It would not likely be used by a person who understands what it means because it addresses "knowledge," which everybody seems to have a different standard for. (If any.)
Ughnostic: I'm agnostic! That means I'm not a theist or an
atheist.
Person
2: The word "
atheist" literally means "not a theist." A theist is a person who believes in a deity or deities. You can't be both not a person who believes in deities and not not a person who believes in deities. I need new friends.
