    Atheism is not about treating the nonexistence of gods as more certain than mathematical theorems. It’s about recognizing that just because the theist ideas are put into words doesn’t mean we should treat them as any closer to the truth then the virtually infinite potential strings of characters - meaningful or otherwise - that were not “fortunate enough” to be put to writing.

    Agnosticism is the centrism of the theological world.

      Agnosticism is just saying “I don’t know”. If you know that gods don’t exist, I’d like to hear about how you got this knowledge.

        There is a world of difference between “I don’t know” and “I’m not 100% sure because we can’t ever be 100% sure of anything”.
