Well you have to remember alot of people don't know the meaning of the word agnostic, which for the uninated means (from dictionary.com)
One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
For the record i fall neither side of the line really, i follow alot of buddhist PHILOSOPHY but i don't consider that my religion. At the same time faith in science and rational tought is still in the end a faith....
