Agnosticism isn't moderate atheism. An atheist who believes fully that no gods exist is expressing strong atheism, and a less encompassing/strident approach is more like weak atheism. Or, you could use Dawkins's scale and figure out where you at [sic]. (I recommend that no atheist make positive claims about the nonexistence of various supernatural/cryptozoological beings, and just insist upon following the evidence, reserving judgement as new facts are made known. I.e. there COULD be gods/pixies/Scandinavian alva, but the time to believe in such are when these entities can be demonstratively proven to exist). Agnosticism deals with knowledge; atheism, belief.

Anyway, atheism has funnier jokes ;) Actually, agnosticism is more like “There’s probably as much chance of gods existing as gods not existing, but no one really knows.”

I guess I could get one and just be careful about when I wore it but having to consider what you wear because it may make you unsafe seems ridiculous in this country.
