        Absolutely! Part of freedom of religion is freedom to not have religion

        It's all a big mess. I style myself an atheist mostly but there's certainly elements of agnosticism to my worldview.

          about supernatural beliefs: neither do many eastern religions, like Buddhism.

          central dogma: there is no god or anything supernatural, what you see is what you get

          rituals: post your "I deny God" movie, shout "There is no god" from the roof of your house (few years ago in scandinavia), preaching, carpe diem, do everything that makes you happy.

          Many people mix up agnostics with atheists. Somebody who doens't really believe in (a) god is not by default atheist. If they don't really care about it, they're most probably agnostic. Atheists are those who voice their opinion publicly all the time and do the stuff I mentioned above. If it doesn't fit to you you're most probably not an atheist.

            No, that's a subset of atheists. Evangelical atheists, I guess, would be the term.

              It gets worse. Continually more absurd and ludicrous definitions of atheism. That's like saying "Christians are those who set fire to people". It it doesn't fit you you're most probably not a Christian.

              I dunno ... what do I expect though? This is a CyberShy thread.

                Buddhism is rife with supernatural beliefs, reincarnation, dualism, universal creators. No God doesn't mean no supernaturality

                I think even you are smart enough to tell the difference between a few bozos putting up a short video on youtube versus the continual, traditional, regularly intervaled rituals of religions.

                As they should because agnosticism and atheism are not incompatable and in fact are thoroughly mixed into each other. There is no clear dividing line. Though I style myself an atheist (the reason is to emphasize the extreme lack of validity of God in my epistimology), I easily fit under the definition of agnostic as well.

                    I think nearly everyone has been saying that, but the message is not being heard.
