'''Agnosticism''' is, in weaker forms, an affirmation of [[ignorance]] regarding the existence of a [[God]] or [[gods]], and in stronger forms, the assertion that the existence of a [[deity]] or deities is unknowable. By contrast [[Atheism]] is a strong form of [[ignorance]] that denies the existence of God.<ref>*Smart, J. J. C. (August 8, 2011).
