"I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure -- that is all that agnosticism means" - Clarence Darrow

This is my favorite quote in reguards to non-theistic beleifs.

Personally I am an Agnostic-Atheist.
I've seen this brilliant video on youtube that would describe the beleif the best.
The girl in the video put it something like this:

Agnostic and Gnostic refer to knowledge of a deity or multiple deities
Agnostic meaning : I don't know if there is a god
Gnostic meaning : I do know that there is a god

Atheist and Theist refer to beleif of a deity or deities
Atheist meaning : I do not beleive in a god
Theist meaning : I do beleive in a god

Agnostic cannot be considered a category of religion like Atheist can be.

Therefore I am proud to call myself and Agnostic Atheist, I don't know for sure whether a god does or does not exist but I will not acknowledge a god beleif-wise meaning I will not practice religion

These are my own view on my own beleifs but much of the terminology and wording I used was heavily influence by the young lady in the following video

I'm curious to know what some of you think about what I just wrote, I'd love to hear your views!
