🕯️ Traditions The differences between Agnostics and Atheists

[Gentleman007]

Atheism is often divided among into two groups: strong Atheists, and weak Atheists:

• Strong Atheism -- sometimes called Explicit Atheism -- refers to individuals who firmly assert that there is no God, Goddess, or pantheon of Gods or Goddesses.
  
  Sometimes, a Strong Atheist is defined as a person who firmly denies the existence of specific Deities -- like Zeus or Thor. We do not recommend this definition, because it would make the vast majority of humans into Strong Atheists. There are books that list thousands of Gods and/or Goddesses. Most adults believe in very few if any of these thousands of deities listed. Yet if you called them Strong Atheists, they would probably be quite offended!.
  
  
• Weak Atheism -- sometimes called Implicit Atheism or Agnostic Atheism -- are persons with no belief in the existence a God or Goddess. However, they probably hold open the possibility that such a deity might some day be proven to exist or not exist.

Agnostics are persons who hold beliefs essentially identical to weak Atheists. However, many Agnostics believe that it is impossible to prove either the existence or the non-existence of God with the current level of human knowledge -- perhaps forever.
