Though I've defined myself as an Atheist for the past 6 or 7 years or so, I've recently come to declare myself an Agnostic, simply due to my inability to knowingly, concretely prove or refute the existence of God. And yes, I'm aware that there are, of course, many other religions beside Christianity that put stock into some sort of higher being(s), but Christians definitely seem to come under fire more often by Atheists.
But in all actuality, isn't the Atheistic position just as "ignorant" as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, or any other proponent of any religion that claims to have the answer? Who here can prove the existence or nonexistence of a higher power? Sure, someone could say that they find it highly improbable or illogical to believe in a higher power, and I would certainly be among them. But to completely refute the potential existence is operating on that same claim, just relying on a different form of faith.
