Reply #97: Isn't the term "weak atheist"? [View All]

[Donald Ian Rankin]

Agnostic atheist is an oxymoron, I think.

If you don't believe that a God exists, then you're an atheist. If believe that you can prove you're right, then you're a strong atheist. If you don't think you can prove it, but think it's true even so, in the way that I believe that the Riemann hypothesis is true, say - you'd bet heavily that way, even though you're not sure - then you're a weak atheist.

Agnosticism implies a genuine, non-trivial uncertainty.
