On The Untenebility of Gnosticism Concerning Religion

I am an agnostic atheist, because in my opinion, it is the only teneble position concerning religion.

Most of you probably think of agnostics as people who don't know what they believe, and a position between atheism and theism. For the purposes of this, we're going by a definition straight from the Greek root, gnosis, or knowledge. Therefore, for the purpose of this, gnosticism is the belief that you have definite knowledge. Agnosticism is the belief that you don't. This is separate from theism and atheism.

First, I'll discuss gnostic atheism. In my opinion, gnostic atheists are the ones who, instead of just lacking a belief in a god or gods, are the ones who believe in the nonexistence of a god or gods. This is an unteneble position, simply because it is impossible to prove a negative. They can't make any claim to knowledge for this reason.

Gnostic theism, on the other hand, is the belief that a god or gods exists and that you know this for a fact. This is unteneble because simply... you have no evidence. There's far better explanations lacking any god, and any god at all is unnecessary to explain the universe.

Agnostic theism is that you think a god or gods exists but you don't claim certain knowledge. Far rarer than gnostic theism, it's gone because of Occam's Razor, since the agnostic atheist postion does not require a god or gods.

Additionally, agnostic atheism is the default scientific position; tentative assumption of the null hypothesis until evidence is against it, though most likely there never will be sufficient evidence against it for it to be discarded.

And thus, you have the reasoning behind my position as an agnostic atheist.
