Would some one please tell me what an atheist is and what an agnostic is? I am very confused.

An Atheist straight doesn't believe in anything.
An Agnostic is wavering or shakey in his/her beliefs, and forever questions the exsistance of God.
Hope that helps.

Atheist = No belief in any gods.
Agnostic = Belief that one cannot have knowledge of any gods.
An agnostic atheist = Someone that has no belief in any gods, but thinks we wouldn't know of any if there were any.
An agnostic theist = Someone who thinks that a god exists through faith alone, because there is no way show that a god exists.
A gnostic athiest = Someone who lacks belief in any gods, but thinks if there were any, we'd know it.
A gnostic theist = One who believes there is direct evidence for the existence of a god.

Atheist- a person who denies or lacks the belief of God(s).
Agnostic- a person who believes the human mind can not know whether God does exist or not.

An atheist is a person who does not believe in any god or deity. An agnostic is a person who does not know if there is a god/deity or not - effectively, he hasn't made a decision, or feels there isn't enough evidence to support either conclusion.

Atheist means they don't believe in the concept of an omnipotent creator god or goddess.
Agnostic means they don't know one way or another if such a god exists and therefore they don't claim one opinion or the other.
