This is an open question to anyone:

This is an open question to anyone, but where to you fall on this scale? If I'm not mistaken if you are not a solid 1, you are, in fact, agnostic.

As defined by Wikipedia:

Agnostic atheism - The view of those who do not believe in the existence of any deity, but do not claim to know if a deity does or does not exist.

Agnostic theism - The view of those who do not claim to know of the existence of any deity, but still believe in such an existence.

Personally, I'm a 6, leaning 7. I'm not going to go all out and say that I'm 100% sure there is no god because we still have so much to learn, but I do find it to be very unlikely. So unlikely that I do not fear hell nor feel the need to worship anyone.

If you're comfortable answering and talking about it feel free to post. For all of you sensitive folks this isn't a jab at you so don't get your panties in a wad. This is my page, I'm out of the god closet, and this is a simple conversation starter - NOT meant to hurt your feelings. I was hoping it could be a little bit educational for everyone because people seem to get the terms all mixed up. I've been told by people before (mostly Christians) that there is no such thing as an agnostic atheist (no claim of knowledge and doesn't believe), which is what I identify as. It is simply not true. In fact, most atheists I know identify that way.
