Matthew Le God

I don't know 🙂

England men's football team play on Tuesday 😉 I don't know if they will win.

Why are you conflating hope and faith?

You are both making things up now. 🙄

Doesn't matter, you either currently believe a god(s) exist or you don't. If you haven't given it any thought then you don't currently hold a belief which makes you an atheist. If you don't claim knowledge then that further defines you as an agnostic atheist.

I've never claimed it applies to all questions. So it is bizarre you've twisted my words in such a way.

Nope, doesn't require conclusion. It is a statement of your current position which can be a fluid one open to change. If I had some good evidence the god of the Bible manifested in reality I'd believe it existed. I'm yet to see any good evidence for it however.

But the question concerns belief. Belief is binary, a person either believes in X or does not believe in X. If you don't know if X exists then you don't currently believe in it existing!

Why? You don't currently believe in a god = atheist You don't claim knowledge there are no god(s) = agnostic So that makes you an agnostic atheist.

Sure, as a child due to cultural adoption of the gesture. Not as an adult as it is superstitious nonsense.

What about that diagram do you think isn't correct?

If you think it is a possibility there is a god but don't currently hold the belief in a god that still puts you in the top left box of being an agnostic atheist.

'Don't know' and 'don't give a shit' are subsets of 'no'. So the choice is therefore binary... Yes or No.

Which of these are you and @Turkish? Every human on the planet is one of the four options.

That isn't true.

Atheism is the lack of belief in a god(s), it doesn't require an underlying belief. If you don't have a belief in a god then that automatically makes you an atheist. Both theist and athiest can be further broken down into subsets if you bring claims of knowledge into the question. I'm an agnostic atheist. I don't claim there are no gods. I would however claim the god as described in the Bible doesn't exist as the description is deeply flawed and contradictory.

Because agnostic & gnostic deal with the question of knowledge and theism &atheism deal with belief. You don't appear to claim knowledge or believe in a god so that makes you an agnostic atheist. It is also possible to be a gnostic atheist, an agnostic theist and a gnostic theist.

If they don't believe in a god... then yes.

An agnostic atheist.

A gnostic atheist would make that claim. But gnostic atheism is a sub set and shouldn't be applied to all atheists.

Why is that funny?

Clearly a typing mistake.

I agree, babies don't believe in anything. Non belief in a god = atheist. So babies are atheist. You still have not grasped that being an atheist does not automatically mean you claim knowledge there are no gods. I really don't know how I can break this down any simpler for you. You and @egg aren't grasping the basics. Do you agree that... knowledge is a subset of belief. You can be an... 1) agnostic atheist 2) gnostic atheist 3) agnostic theist 4) gnostic theist ???

I don't know, but when indoctrination/brainwashing starts is irrelevant to babies being born atheist. Faith is the excuse people make for believing in something without evidence. If you had good evidence... you wouldn't need faith.
