001 Atheism and Agnosticism




Jay Forrest On Secular Buddhism show

Summary: What is atheism? What is agnosticism? First, we have to distinguish atheism from agnosticism. Agnosticism deals with knowledge, atheism deals with belief. Second, we need to distinguish between the theistic God of Christianity and Islam from other kinds of gods, the first is called theism, the second I will call godism, for a lack of a better word. So my position is that I am an atheist towards theism, and an agnostic nongodist towards any other kind of god or gods. To be clear, I believe that the theistic God, in all probability, does not exist. Not only do I lack belief, but I believe that there is evidence against the theistic God.
