=== Causes of the rise and decline of agnosticism ===
See also: [[Causes of ahtheism]]
[[Social science|Social scientists]] and others have studied the causes of atheism as atheism - especially [[militant atheism]] - is a more strident and provocative ideology and thus is more attention grabbing. In addition, historically there have been no "militant agnosticism" regimes. For example, the psychologist [[Paul Vitz]] wrote the book ''Faith of the Fatherless'' about the causes of atheism.
