In agreement with R30A, there is a difference between the strong form of atheism, which the assertion that there is definitely is no god, and the weak form, which is merely the assertion that there is no evidence of god. It is more rationally prudent to follow the weak form, since it is impossible to say with certainty that there is definitely is not anything. That being said, without evidence there is no reason to ascribe belief in something, and that is the logically correct form of atheism, which is essentially equivalent to agnosticism. |

Atheism and Agnosticism are the same.I don't think so. People who have heard of gods, but are undecided about their existence are agnostics. People who have heard of gods, but do not believe that they actually exist are atheists. People who have never heard of gods form a separate category. |

If someone assigns a probability of existance of a traditional god to be anything significant, they are making substantial enough assumptions that they can not accurately consider themselves uncommitted to a set of theological beliefs. |
