I believe it's impossible to prove the existence of two gods.
I'm a diagnostic.

I don't drink tea.
I'm an atheaist
I hate definite articles, I’m an a-the-ist
God, my mother is going to cackle at that one
Nice, tell her we all said hi! She'll know who you mean.
I mean you go girl more power to ya but it definitely isn't easier to explain pastafarianism than agnosticism to normies. Noone except programmers and other too online people even know it exists (yes i am also a terminally online freak relax peeps, real recognize real)
That's the neat part - you don't have to explain anything. You just assert the truthfulness of your religion and act offended when people point out how ridiculous it is.
Chad moves. Get theology-mogged you faithless heathencell
Just show them the graph. Can't argue with hard data.

"I'm not religious"
Can't say I've ever had to explain anything more than that.
i prefer "i'm not superstitious", because that's what all religions are

So how will you teach little girls that they're the problem? How will you fondle little boys? How will you comitt a genocide to prove that your religion is more moral?

It's not at all difficult to explain. "I don't believe in gods." Simple as that.
That’s atheism?
You either believe in god(s) or you don't. Orthogonally you might be sure of your beliefs or not.
Most self-described agnostics are agnostic atheists.
Jesus thank god, only one accurate comment in this thread on the difference between atheists and agnostics.
They are the answers to two different questions

I've always thought of agnosticism as being "I don't believe in Gods," and atheism as being "Gods don't exist." It's like the difference between saying "I don't think that plan will work" vs "That plan won't work." One leaves room for you to be wrong, while the other doesn't.
Agnostics are "I don't know, probably not. It's impossible to know.".
Atheists are "I don't think there's a god, there's no proof".
Anti-theists are "there is definitely no god", and they have just as much evidence as believers.
Because I just discovered it on wikipedia I think is worth adding ‘Ignostic’ - the belief that frankly it’s pointless even discussing any of this unless you can first define a deity. Seems bloody sensible to me.

Even easier to explain than Pastafarianism though.
Yeah but you’d be surprised how people would hate you more for believing in nothing than believing in a bowl of pasta… even if it’s a fake believe in pasta that symbolizes nothing.

You can just call yourself an atheist. Hell, if you call yourself a pastafarian you are basically an anti-theist.

Why agnostic? Like... If there's no proof, why believe in the existence of a deity at all?
I was an agnostic for a very long time.
My main view of things - I couldn't know if there was a god or if there wasn't. But all that ultimate judgement shit never made any sense for me. If you're just behaving decently because of fear of ultimate judgment, then you're not a decent person. Ok if god would want me not to be an asshole, I'd need to be that out of my free will. And if a god demanded adherence to some random rules out of the blue - that god wouldn't have a moral compass and I wouldn't want to have to do anything with them in my life, being smitten down at the end would have been a consequence for me anyways.
I just want to be no asshole. So the question of there's a god or not. I don't care. God is irrelevant.
Thus: agnostic
I started staying I'm an atheist somw time ago, as that's just quicker and I can go by without explaining.
Still - if there's a god around, which is possible but improbable - I'm making sure I make fucking good use of the free will they gave me.

If this is you, consider joining or supporting The Satanic Temple. This is why they exist, and they do more meaningful and practical good than a meme religion.
One of the core tenants of Pastafarianism is being too lazy or broke (or both) to actually contribute

Honestly, “it’s easier than explaining” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here 😅
Good time to point out there is a huge difference between being agnostic and agnostcism. One is a literal state of being, not specific to religion. The other is an ideology toward "deities" based around being agnostic in the topic.
It's just how -ic and -ism be. Most people that say they are agnostic do not follow agnosticism, even if they may share some of its very widely ranged ideas and concepts.
