I believe in agnosticism.
The problem with atheism and theism is the fact that they are both sure about their belief without having any evidence to support their claim.
Agnosticism is just a statement and not an actual religion. Agnostic people believe that without solid evidence you cannot for sure say that something can or cannot be. For example lets say you’re an atheist and you are claiming that there is no god.. how can you be sure? Can you prove it to me? And same thing goes for theistic people, how can you prove to me that god does exist?
If you are hypothesising an idea to explain an unknown phenomenon or a thing without actually having any evidence to support that idea, then you’re making a theory. And a theory only show’s the idea of you’re belief, it doesn’t prove it in any way. So how can you be sure about existence/absence of higher power(or God), if you dont have any evidence? Exactly, you can’t! So until someone does prove something, you cannot say for sure that something is or isn’t. This is why im agnostic, i refuse to believe in something without having any solid evidence or logical explanation to it.

"I am a Muslim, but I believe there's nothing wrong with acknowledging the existence of Chinese mythical creatures or that the sun, moon, stars, etc., can be more than just celestial objects. While they may not be gods or goddesses, I am fairly certain they can hold significance beyond how we perceive them astronomically.

I don't limit my beliefs and views strictly to the Quran or Hadiths (Shia); rather, I embrace anything that does not contradict them."

Agnostic: I don't believe, I don't disbelieve until I see the pink slip and the vehicle in the driveway with my name on it.

The current religions evolved out of the thousands of previous religions, and they contain many similar claims. If you strongly believe in one religion, you don't believe in the thousands of other religions. But nobody can know for sure because the claims have evolved to the point where they can't be proven or disproven. When people believe something, they say they "know, " even when they are wrong.

This is probably where I am at. I do have belief in the spiritual but am unsure.

Agnosticism means you can't tell the difference between science and miracles.

If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. MA 🙂

What about babies or people who have no concept of a deity?

Another word for 'Confusionism'.

[jester_]

You literally cannot describe different types of Agnosticism, then go on to label someone an Agnostic atheist/theist, which are directly conflicting positions. Are they a Weak Agnostic/Strong Atheist? A Pragmatic Agnostic/Weak Atheist? What combination are you putting under that banner? All of the possible combos? It makes no sense to confuse the issue. If you don’t think you can know, then you stop there. That’s literally all there is to it.
