Agnostics are atheists who come to terms with the fact that they can neither prove nor disprove the existence of a creator.
Atheists are people who are struggling with the concept of a creator in their mind and are usually not in peace with the concept because of all the questions they have that have not been answered.
i.e. Agnostics have found some peace while atheists havent.
and agnostics arent yelling and shouting stuff at faith holders anymore than they are yelling and shouting stuff at those that do not have faith.
Overall...if I hadnt been born in a muslim family..with no proper education of any religion, I would have been an agnostic man because it makes more sense to me.

An Atheist says "There is no Mighty one". "A" without "Theos" Mighty one. The Agnostic says that the existence (or nonexistence) of the Almighty cannot be proved or disproved.
When you analyze that statement, you realize it is not really a statement regarding the existence of the Almighty, but rather a statement judging our ability to "prove". If you think of "proof" with test tubes, and testable hypotheses, what is being said is that "Science is not an appropriate tool to use to study the Almighty's existence".

An Agnostic believes that the proof of a supreme being cannot be proved and therefore may or may not exist. An Atheist is someone that believes there is no god or supreme being.

An Agnostic cannot say for sure if there is a God or not...and an Atheist says that there definitely isn't a God. That's a basic definition.

*** An Atheist does not believe in the existance of any God or gods.
*** An Agnostic does not have enough information to make an intelligent decision to believe in or to deny the existance of any God or gods.

An agnostic argues the concept of a god, but does believe that there is a higher entity, not godlike though. An atheist is completely against this mode of thinking and believes that no higher being should exist and is only a mirage for us to be safe in the knowledge that we'll be looked after when we die....

Agnostics - Believe in something (a higher power) greater than themselves and believe in the possibility of some form of afterlife but don't have any specific beliefs on either. Also they have not chosen to follow any particular religious or spiritual path.
Atheists - No belief in any form of higher power. No belief in any form of afterlife. Do not follow any religious or spiritual path.

Atheist deny there is a God to defend them selves for having no feelings for God or Jesus one way or another.They choose to not believe,rather than feel guilty for caring only about themselves and s/o for purely selfish reason's and care not a bit for the one that died for them.Agnostic people know there is a God ,but they are too scared to hope,have given up hope,they think God does not love them enough,they might be angry with God for the pain that is in there life,or simply there may not be enough christian people in their life to help them and show them the love and grace God has for them.last but not least they have never prayed to God,asking for his presence in there life,even though they believe in God,they won't allow God into their lives. Christian people are suppose to be a witness of God's love for agnostic people,so they can see and feel what God is really all about,so they have more in there lives besides here-say as to what God is all about.Good luck and God Bless
