There is confusion about agnosticism and uncertainty. I don't know of any atheists who will declare with certainty that God does not exist. I smell the horrid stench of certainty in many religious writings and in many prayers. I think that's a shame. Being an atheist is not about being certain that God doesn't exist, but neither is it agnosticism. Agnostics just don't know. What I know, as an atheist, is that the possibility of the existence of a supernatural being who breaks every law of nature we know about, and who is impossible to explain, is vanishingly small. I can live my life happily in that knowledge and I am completely unconcerned about wacky ideas of afterlifes, etc. Unto stardust I shall return and I'm deliriously happy with that. Agnostics just haven't made up their minds, and they have a serious problem of not having made up their minds about who and what they are on this planet. They have to answer to the hedging-of-bets charge, I reckon.
