[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1135938, member: 18225"] From the video: "Non-belief either way is often confused with agnosticism, but agnosticism isn't about belief or non-belief, it concerns knowledge. An agnostic is someone who holds the view that nothing is known or can be known about a proposed phenomenon, in this case a god. It's perfectly possible to hold this view while believing there is a god, believing there's none, or having no belief either way. Agnosticism isn't some middle ground between believing X and believing not-X, it's an independent category compatible with belief or non-belief. Some people, and even certain otherwise respectable dictionaries define atheism as the belief that there is no god with a capital 'G', but this definition cannot be adequate as it would also apply to certain polytheists who believe that there is no supreme god..." Etc. [/QUOTE]
