you should bother to read the post I made explaining exactly why what you think is an agnostic is really the actual definition of atheist... you're the victim of a world with religion, and your fear of ignoring it entirely causes you tension because they brainwashed you growing up. I already can tell you grew up religious if you're an agnostic.... right? and why not call yourself an atheist? Because its been turned into a bad word, its been made out to seem close-minded, too radicle. The those assertions are ridiculous! Atheism is the most open minded someone can be without making a choice. Atheism is a natural state of being.
