What is the difference between agnostics and atheists?

Answer 1

An agnostic is a person who feels that God's existence can neither be proved nor disproved. An atheist is a person who does not believe in a higher power at all.

Answer 2

some ppl saying agnostic belives in higher being.
Not true, Agnostic will accept anything if there is a prove. If some1 will prove GOD agnostic will belive that. BUt since there is no prove we just ignore it. If its there its there, if its not its not.
Atheism is a religion ( modern one)
The reason i am saying that opposive to religious ppl Atheist saying we bielive there is not GOD. No 1 can prove today if there is a higher power or not. So Atheist can only say we don't belive in GOD.
Using Beleiving is the base it falls into same category . THey don't call it religion , they use other words but in concept its the same.
Saying i just had sex with this female or I just screwed this female are 2 diff sentences but the act is still the same.

Tough Atheists, Agnostic, non-belieivers and other normal human beings are on the same track that there is no Stupid Murdeous, Genocidal GOD like Cristians wants to see it or any other GODs in that sence.
Therefore GOD exists.

Answer 3

The word 'agnostic' is about knowledge and not belief. A person who says they are agnostic is saying that they don't believe the existence of God is knowable.

The word 'atheist' is about belief and not knowledge. A weak atheist does not have a belief in God. A strong atheist has a belief in the lack of God.

It's entirely possible to be an atheist agnostic. I'd consider myself one. That would mean 'I admit that I can't be sure either way whether there is a God, but my belief is that there is not.' You may also meet theist agnostics, who are inclined to belief in God even though they acknowledge that being sure is an impossiblity.

Further, weak agnostics believe that proof of God doesn't exist at the moment but may one day be found. Strong agnostics believe that it is impossible to ever know whether or not there is a God.

Answer 4

The difference between agnositcs and atheists is that atheists know that they absolutely do not believe in God or any deity. Agnostics are not quite sure what they believe. Agnostics as a general rule believe that there is most likely some sort of higher power, but aren't quite sure what their definite beliefs or religious affilations are.

Answer 5

Agnostic-
One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
One who is doubtful or noncommittal about something

Atheist-
One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.

So, Atheist have decided there is enough proof to deny the existence of God and Agnostics decide it is better to sit on the fence about the issue because they are not sure.

Answer 6

Gnostic, basically means knowledge. While agnostics accept the possibility of a supreme beings existance, they are essentially unsure of the true nature or existance of one. Atheists do not believe in the existance period. By their profession of disbelief in a supreme being, they are inadvertantly admitting the existance.

Answer 7

Athiests do not believe in a higher being, Agnostics basically think there is no way to know so you shouldn't waste your time trying to find out.

Answer 8

Agnostics believe in a higher being (doesn't have to be the Christian one) and Atheists don't.

Answer 9

Atheists deny the existence of God.

Agnostics are unsure of the existence of God.

Answer 10

Agnostics are kinda just not convinced, and Athiests are totally sure that there is no kind of god or anything. That's how I was told.
