Atheists don't think they know everything about the world, they just don't believe in God[/quote]

My point is that we really don't know how the universe works or was created. All are theories have wholes in them. We are not knowledgeable enough to prove the existence or non-existence of God. Both those that believe there is a God and those that don't are operation from a believe system that cannot be proven.[/quote]

Atheists are quite aware of that.  I find that people are confused about atheists -- even smart, educated people like physicists.  I suspect they were told that atheists claim to "know" things they couldn't possibly know, because it's easier to laugh them off that way.   There's not much difference between atheists and agnostics, as for as I can see --  and not one that matters much -- both do not believe in god. It seems to be more of a comfort level thing.  "Agnostic" is a softer-sounding term, for sure.[/quote]

NP. I've always thought agnostics were those who were atheist but didn't have the nerve to claim the title.[/quote]
