Just thought this chart would be helpful in understanding the differences.

I'd like to be an agnostic atheist but the idea of god seems sooo ridiculous. I think I'm stuck with gnostic atheism. Talking to someone about god is like talking about teletubbies or mutant ninja Teenage Turtles. Just can't wrap my mind around the fact that a full grown adult believes in that crap.

I'm agnostic because of what I know, or don't know in this case. I can't prove there is no doG.
I'm atheist because of what I believe, or don't believe in this case. I don't believe there is a doG. I’m also dyslexic and used to stay awake late at night wondering if there really was a doG. šŸ™‚

I would put myself in the upper right but let me ask you this, I do not claim to be certain that there is no god but instead take a scientific approach.

God is a positive claim. People claim it exists. It is therefore their responsibility to to prove he exists. If they cannot prove he exists then not only is it unlikely, the only logical conclusion is that it does not exist.

When you make a claim that something is there, you can be given some leeway to your claim. Give the evidence that you have. Given enough time and effort, if real it should be proven.

It cannot stand on its own. The Bible excuse is a good example. God exists because he is in the Bible. Harry Potter does not exist but has nearly the same evidence. Given that the Bible has been around for thousands of years and many people have tried to prove God exists but have not in any meaningful way, Harry Potter seems more likely at this point. (except the author doesn't claim that)

I submit that the diagram is correct but doesn't represent the true complexity of the subject. It is somewhat dogmatic.

Nicely laid out. Upper left for me. šŸ™‚

I'm and anti-theist, so I'm in the upper right. I don't have any more reason to believe God exists than I do Godzilla. And I know Godzilla doesn't exist.

Oh yeah? How do you explain the stuff going on in Hawaii right now?
GODZILLA!

Tell that to the people in Tokyo! ☺

Missed the one that a deity dose not exist and if proven wrong kills it to make the first statement true.

I don't fit on there.

To me the existence of a god is unknown. I am split 50/50.

My stance is undecided.

Similar to another one I post every now and then

Cool so that pretty clearly puts me in the upper left hand corner!

Go Blue. I say that gods do not exist with the same confidence that I say ghosts, vampires, werewolves, poltergeists and other things that go bump in the night , do not exist.
