The Agnostics Group discusses the pros and cons of Agnosticism.
They welcome ALL viewpoints, including criticism of Agnosticism.

The Agnostics Group's introductory statement:

### "Agnosticism, Theism and Atheism."

Agnosticism is about knowledge — an agnostic takes the position that they don't know if any gods exist or not, perhaps that they cannot know if any gods exist or not, and in some cases that no human being can possibly know if any gods exist or not. Saying "I don't know" can indeed be a reasonable answer to the question of what one knows
But neither atheism nor theism address the question of what one knows. They address the question of what one believes.
Theists believe in the existence of at least one god of some sort and atheists don't. That's it, that's all there is to mere theism and mere atheism.
However, both atheists and theists may be agnostics as well. Whether one believes or disbelieves, one may do so in the context of not claiming to know one way or the other.
In other words, NOT CLAIMING CERTAINTY.
