Understood, but because you do not believe positively that God exists, you are on equal ground with the atheist who also does not believe positively that God exists. The difference between you and the atheist is the reasoning you provide for your unbelief.
The other difference is that they believe that there is no god(believe negatively).

quote:Yes but in terms of theism vs. atheism, the key difference is a belief in God's existence vs. a lack of belief in God's existence. Based on that criteria, agnosticism is in line with atheism.

When talking about positive disbelief (atheism) or neutral disbelief (agnosticism), the difference is about how strong or weak your lack of belief in God is. Agnosticism is just adding an "I don't know" to your atheism or theism. "I believe God exists but I don't know for sure", or "I don't believe God exists but I don't know for sure". Those are just theism and atheism with less certainty.
