Message:
> This may be semantics, but agnosticism seems to sit on a different dynamic then say atheism. The two Greek words have different meanings. One speaks of knowledge and the other, belief. -I found that agnostics can be in both categories of theism and atheism. I sometimes wonder if the word atheism scares people from being ostracized from their communities which may be theistic dominate. Therefore they stick with the word agnostic so they don't expose his/her real beliefs on the topic. Or people don't come out at all, and they pretend to believe so they don't lose status in society. -I would think most people are agnostic whether they are religious or not, but they believe deep down people make decisions based on beliefs since knowledge isn't always given before decisions are made.
