Agnosticism makes no statement about belief; it only addresses knowledge. Agnosticism is not a degree of unbelief as most people think. Most people think it's a halfway point between theism and atheism. It's not.
a = without
theism = god belief
Atheism makes no statement about
knowledge of god; it only addresses belief.
Because I am agnostic, I am an atheist. In other words, because I have no knowledge of the existence of god, I cannot possibly profess belief in him/her/it.
I usually just shorten it to 'atheist' though. Gets to the point quicker.
