If I were an atheist then I would say there is no God, no afterlife, no soul, none of that.
I am agnostic because I haven't seen evidence that I should rule it out nor accept it as gospel. Pun slightly intended.
It's again the same thing. Could there be a soul? It hasn't been proven either way so yeah, it's possible, but in all likelihood it's just bogus.
Either way, atheists and agnostics say the exact same things, atheists are just clearer about the message
Again, my beliefs aren't your beliefs.
I'm not an "Atheist in denial", I am someone who doesn't see significant evidence to rule out things humanity is incapable of understanding they may be similar in concept to God or a soul
I apologize if I made you feel like I was pushing something on you.
I'm merely trying to say that the teo are pretty much the same. I was like you, calling myself agnostic until I read this line "agnostics are just closet atheists" and that rung a bell with me.
My beliefs didn't change, I just call myself atheist now.
I am not in a closet
