In a previous post I wrote that Atheism is an intellectually dishonest position. That’s not a fair representation and much to broad to take into account the huge amount of thought that has gone into developing and defending atheism. An atheist does however set the bar very high in accepting a position that is tough to defend, just as Christianity is often tough to defend.
Even Richard Dawkins arguably the most famous current atheist admits to not being 100 percent sure there is no God. He says, ” I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable, and I live my life on the assumption that he is not there.” I’m not sure but it sounds like Dawkins is, by strict definition, agnostic.
My intention was essentially that of Dawkins. While some are functioning atheists, most are agnostics in philosophy. I hope that clears some things up.
