I’ve done some Google searches, read some dictionary definitions, and basically what I got was agnostics don’t believe in anything, and they don’t know what to believe until there’s proof, and atheists are positive that there is no/never was a god. I don’t mean to start a religious debate, so please don’t.

As far as I know, an atheist rules out the evidence of God on the other hand a agnostic is someone who believes in, seeing is believing. They are in denial of the existence of God because there is no proven fact. He needs validation.

THANKS.

Hello, coolmailraj.

There is a huge difference between Atheists and Agnostics. The Atheists does not believe in the existence of a God nor of any Supreme Being ruling over us. Agnostics, by the other hand, are a part of the Agnosticism. They believe that there is no way for us humans to know about the supreme beings or something unnatural. It is not like they don't believe in God. They don't think we, human beings, are able to know about Gods or Heaven, Hell, things like that. They believe that we can only find out about Earth things. So, it is not like if they don't believe in God.

Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

It's really very simple, but there are a lot of misconceptions out there.

An agnostic is someone who believes that it's impossible to know/prove the existence of a god or gods.

An atheist is someone who does not believe in any god or gods.

As you can see, agnosticism has nothing to do with believing in god/s directly. As a result, these two are not mutually exclusive. You can be an agnostic atheist (which I am); you can even be an agnostic Christian.

Agnostics are people that do not have any religious beliefs. They are not necessarily bad people. Many people look down on them because they do not have a god or a religion to follow. This however, does not mean they are bad people. There are plenty of religious people who have done many horrible things throughout there life*ahem such as priests who have raped little boys*.

Atheists, like agnostics, are those who don't believe in god; however, they do believe in spirits. Many people stereotype atheists as being satanists or extremely bad people. But once again, just because they do not follow a god, that does not mean they are a bad person. Many atheists are religious themselves towards their own religion: atheism.

Overall, we should respect the religious (or non-religious) beliefs of all. Just because someone does not pay obedience and respect to a higher being, that does not make them a horrible person.
