An agnostic doubts the existence of God. An atheist doesn't believe there is a God at all. Protestants and Catholics believe there is a God and worship Him/Her.

First off an atheist is not a Christian. An atheist is a person who does not believe in any god. Christians are people who beleive that Jesus of Nazareth was the son of God and that he came to earth to take the blame for our sins so we could go to heaven. An agonstic is not a Christian either and agnostic does not beleive in religion at all.

Atheism has only one belief: There is no god.
Everything else is up to the individual.
Agnostics do not believe in god, but neither do they believe in one. 'Agnostic' is from greek, 'a gnostia', 'without knowledge'. Agnostic would literally translate to "Don't know." There is no 'different' types of agnosticism. Either you accept that man cannot know of the existence or nonexistence of deity, or you are not agnostic.

Each Christian denomination -- and there are hundreds -- has specific philosophical differences, and it would take (and has taken) thousands of pages to explore them in detail.
The bottom line is that any time you have a story or a rule, different people are going to interpret or apply that differently. And where people can't just agree to disagree, they tend to group together with like-minded people to support the idea that they are right and everyone else is wrong. That's how schisms occur.
Atheists are not Christians. Atheists affirmatively reject the idea of God, denying that supreme supernatural beings exist.

There are two groups of Christians....Catholics and Protestants. Agnostics have varying beliefs about the concept of god. Atheists do not believe in the concept of god.

Surely you have some idea of what the different categories of individuals you have named, or tried to name up there, have as a belief, because you should know that your question would require a reply equal to about 10 dissertations, and I doubt anybody's computer could put it on YA for you, and your computer couldn't read it. Try to present a more coherent and focused question. God Bless you.

My father used to say that Protestants were Catholics with a brain. I'm starting to think he was right...
