Are gnostic-atheists actually rare? Most of the atheists I know are gnostic-atheist, if we’re insisting on using this terminology.

No. Because an agnostic-atheist is just agnostic.

This chart is stupid.

No, because calling ourselves “agnostic” doesn’t show our primary belief as much as “atheist”. You can be agnostic and still believe in a higher power, while being atheist means you definitely don’t believe in one. However, that doesn’t mean we claim to know it to be true, thus adding the agnostic part.

I am an agnostic-atheist, and I was familiar with the more specific terminology before. It’s just simpler to say that I am an atheist, as most people I’ve met assume the agnostic nuance.

Finally someone posts this. I don’t believe in god, But I am not arrogant enough to say that means he doesn’t exist. When I tell people I’m agnostic atheist however, they tend to look at me funny… So I tend to just say I’m atheist because it is just to much work to explain.
