Can atheists and agnostics get along? I know that they can because my son is an atheist and I am agnostic, and though we have had philosophic disagreements, we respect each others right to our point of view and he is my best friend in the world. Certain members have accused agnostics of being wafflers, and metaphorically believing in invisible frogs on Venus. I responded by accusing atheism of being a religion. All the above is conduct unbefitting a freethinker. We have enough in common that we can be good friends and have meaning exchanges without taking pot shots at each other. In the future the trolls will just be ignored.
I've never heard of atheists and agnostics being that separated in belief.. I'm probably 99.99% atheist because, we don't know 100% yet if there is or isn't a deity, but the evidence is definitely leaning towards a universe that didn't need a god to start it.. agnostics/atheists are freethinkers, the fact that both have been freed of indoctrination is a great accomplishment in itself.. I see no argument that should exist between the two

                                        Agnostic atheist here, too. And, I don't understand how atheism can be considered a religion when all it is is the absence of belief in a god. Anti-theism might have more in common with a religion--but not atheism in itself.

                                        splittingzero: I don't necessarily think that atheists "believe" the universe was an accident. I simply accept that science shows that the universe behaves just as it would without a creator being involved. Perhaps the universe, or maybe even multiple universes, is/are not accidental--but inevitable. And, if it/they is/are, there is still no need to invoke some sort of intelligence or cosmic purpose. Also, as an atheist I am completely open to evidence--if some is presented to me--I will give it due consideration as I do not say the universe could not have been created by some sort of being. I, as of yet, simply have no reason to believe it was.
I'm an agnostic and an atheist. We get along just fine.

                                        Atheism isn't a religion. Do you have access to Google?

                                        Nope not a chance. According to my holy book it clearly states that the cat in the hat as thing one and thing 2. All other things are not allowed and should be cast aside.

                                        To take differences to a greater example, my brother and his family are all Mormons and Trump supporters. We get along great. We love each other very much. I think it's what you make your priorities. Mine are to be with family first. It doesn't change my politics or agnosticism at all. I just put that down for the time I am with them and love them. They do the same to me.
