→Agnosticism is often seen as cowardly and fence sitting
Some accuse agnostics of being [[coward]]ly [[atheist]]s, due to their supposedly wishy-washy rejection of God. It is also said by particular [[Christian]] groups, particularly but not exclusively in the United States of [[America]], that those who know of [[Jesus]] but do not accept Him are just as damned as those who reject Him explicitly.
