So you're not convinced that the true God exists, rather than a false one.Catholic Agnostic. I'd of thought it'd be obvious.

Atheist: "A person whose worldview embraces Atheism [noun] [OW]. The natural condition of all humans at birth and prior to indoctrination in or self-invention of Theism. Atheists claim there is no proof for God[s]. "Strong" Atheists claim God does not exist. "Weak" Atheists do not deny the possibility of God[s], or that proof might eventually be discovered" (Cite).Curious...what religion are you or should I even ask?
I was raised Catholic but never went through confirmation and kinda declared myself agnostic (not atheist, ffs...my sister thinks they're the same)
My bet is you are a "weak" Atheist, a euphemism of which is Agnostic.

That's got to be the most idiotic definition that I've ever heard. I'm glad you cited the source to a Member's AOL page of their Fundie Dictionary.

That seems a dodgy dictionary
AFAIK, the term atheist comes from greek, and means lacking god or some such, it is used to indicate that someone doesn't believe in, or denies, the existence of god.
The term agnostic is more recent, a bit under a century and a half old, and denotes that someone doesn't believe that it is possible to prove, or know, whether god does, or doesn't exist. More recently some people who believe it's not possible to prove anything about the subject now also call themselves agnostic. The wait-and-see approach, in other words. I'd certainly not call it a euphemism for the word "atheist".
One's about denying that god exists or believing that god doesn't exist, the other's about thinking it can't be proven either way.

Robert Ingersoll is the one who brought the word 'agnostic' to general usage in 1863 after the U.S. Civil War.
Read that in Rebecca Edwards' New Spirits: Americans in the Gilded Age 1865-1905.
