[QUOTE="Jones, post: 1157647, member: 4805"] Well, according to [I]that[/I] chart I'm an agnostic atheist :wink2:. If you google "types of atheism" you can find lots of stuff like this: [URL="http://commonsenseatheism.com/?p=6487"]17 Kinds of Atheism[/URL] It's not that I disagree so much and it is interesting to read but at the end of the day it just strikes me as semantics and over analysis probably driven in large part by people's inherent need to feel part of a special group ("I'm not just an atheist, I'm a [I]Gnostic[/I] atheist") which in my opinion is a large part of the reason that people are drawn to religion in the first place. For me it's enough to say that I don't believe in a god therefore I'm an atheist, Occam's razor and all that. [/QUOTE]
