LOL. I'll try to keep this short considering the answers you've already gotten. I'm an agnostic too, and have read and researched about different Monotheist religions. Now, people may not agree with me, but most of these religions have the same basic philosophy. That is, do no wrong, love thy neighbor, obey God, and thou shalt go heaven. The trouble, I've noticed, usually arises when the ritualistic side of religions pops out. It is mostly here that the main arguments stem from. \nIn essence all, relgions are continuations of each other.

If you had grabbed a dictionary yourself you would know that it has several meanings:\n\n1.\na. One who adheres to the religion of a people or nation that does not acknowledge the God of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam.\nb. Such persons considered as a group; the unconverted.\n2.\na. One who is regarded as irreligious, uncivilized, or unenlightened.\nb. Such persons considered as a group.\nhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/heathen\n\nIf you mean it in the sense of irreligious, then I am a heathen and proud of it. But I do not subscribe to the assumptions you attribute to me. I do not "know" there is no god (what do you mean by god, for one thing). \n\nI will find religion when I see an unmistakable sign of it, like all the seas and rivers turning into blood (Christianity) or the one-eyed dajaal who will ride the enormous donkey aroung the world (Islam) etc, etc.

I wouldn't feel the need to categorize yourself, then.\n\nJust tell him your still searching.\n\nI've always thought those that titled themselves as Agnostics believed that there is no need for God in their lives.  Doesn't it literally mean to "live without God?"\n\nIf you are open to learning about religion and becoming spiritual then you are not Agnostic.

Agnosticism is a doubt that there is enough evidence to prove the existence of god one way or the other.  There are both atheistic and theistic agnostics.  The atheistic agnostics believe there is no conclusive evidence, but lean towards atheist conclusions; theistic agnostics also do not think there is conclusive evidence, but lean towards there being a god, just an unknowable one.  A common criticism of agnosticism in general is that by avoiding a choice, you are still choosing, in effect choosing atheism.

There are many Theists in this world, some are Atheist (Non Believers or those who Internalise their devine being)\nSome are Monotheists like Christians\nSome are Polytheists like Pagans, Druids, Witches, Rosicrucians, FreeMasons, Knights Templar etc\nand finally apart from these you have Agnostics, those who not yet have found which path they wish to tread.

I'm kind of a bi-believer :\n\nTechnically speaking I am an agnostic because I can't prove the existence of god one way or the other.\n\nHowever, I am currently working under the assumption that there is no god because of the utter lack of evidence.\n\nSome people just like to sit on the fence, I guess.\n\nA

I think you may have your terms a little off.  \n\nAn agnostic is someone who feels that the belief in a diety cannot be proven therefore his or her own belief is one of ambivalence. They don't necessarily have faith, but they don't necessarily deny God's existence either.  They are simply saying they don't know.  \n\nA person who has a belief in a diety, but feeling the existence of that diety, or it's characteristics is unknowable would be a mystic.

Hi there! "Agnostic" means a person for whom the existence of God and the nature of thinks is unknown, or thinks that the human's knowledge is limited to facts experienced. A person that is not an atheist but, who has doubts about the existence of God. \n"Gnosticism" is a philosophical-religious current which tries to mix the christian theology with the greek philosophy and some oriental religions, sustaining the possibility to acquire the mystical knowledge. The greek word "gnosis" means the knowledge acquired through personal experience.

It's not agnostic. Agnostic means you believe there is no proof of the existence or absence of God. It is simply a way of saying you choose not to choose. In other words, an agnostic draws NO conclusions on a spiritual level. An agnostic truly has an open mind.\n\nThe belief in an undefined higher power is simply your personal sense of spirituality. Your own brand of religion if you will. Anyway, thinking for yourself and living by your own moral code is definitely the healthier and far more intelligent alternative to pre-packaged organized religion (like Christianity).

Atheist is someone who doesn't believe in God, I have never heard the term anti-theist but I would imagine it is someone who believes in God, but is against God, a non-theist is probably the same as an atheist.

Agnostics are merely people who question and are thoughtful. Very nice and friendly too. Many on Yahoo! answers are lovely people.

Theism is defined as "a belief in a god or gods". There is nothing there about knowledge. Similarly Atheism is simply a "lack of belief in gods".  In neither case is any knowledge required.  Now I often ask myself why would someone hold a belief without credible evidence or reason to support it, but beliefs do not need to be rational, and often they are the result of heavy indoctrination at a very young age. \n\nI think most people misunderstand the original meaning of agnosticism.  Agnosticism has nothing at all to do with belief. And an agnostic is not a fence sitter. Rather an agnostic is a person who claims that fundamental knowledge about reality is impossible or unobtainable. An agnostic can be, an indeed must be either a theist or an atheist. Everyone must be either a theist or an atheist. Either you have a belief in gods or you do not.\n\nPersonally I am an atheist as I lack a god belief. I do not call myself an agnostic, because I have no idea if fundamental knowledge is impossible or not, so I make no such claims.
