re: #259 Talking Point Detective

I need some more help. It seem above that Sergey is saying that agnosticism is a subset of atheism.

Just to be clear. Even if under weak def of atheism all agnostics are weak atheists, since they lack faith in God’s existence, it does not mean that agnosticism is definitionally equal to atheism. Atheism does not necessarily say something on whether the knowledge of God’s existence is possible, while a subset of agnosticism does. So I don’t think that “agnosticism is a subset of atheism” is a useful way to say it.
