By your definition... (none / 0)

I am an Agnostic Atheist.  I definitely don't believe in God, Gods, or any other "religious" B.S.  But I'm not so bold as to think I can explain the many mysteries of the universe.  The only thing that I am sure of is that the answers are not in the bible, Koran, or any other religious text!

You're not an agnostic atheist, you're a militant agnostic.

Let me explain.  It's not that you don't believe that there is or isn't a supreme being.  You say yourself: "I'm not so bold as to think I can explain the many mysteries of the universe."

You believe that you can't know the mysteries underlying the universe.  Not only that, you believe that NOBODY can know the mysteries underlying the universe.  That's why you have a beef with religious texts: not because they have a theistic point of view, but because they say anything at all.

Any time anybody says they know the many mysteries of the universe, you will say they're full of shit.  Because you believe, fundamentally, that it's not possible to know.  Am I right?
