=== Weak and strong agnosticism ===
The proponent of the weaker form does not make a claim to knowledge about existence, but he simply suspends from making a decision. A suspension of decision, in terms of [[logic]], does not have a [[truth]] value, and therefore they are not making an argument. The proponent of the stronger form goes a step further and makes a claim to knowledge by saying, ''I know that the existence of God cannot be known''.

''See also:'' [[Apatheism]] and [[Atheism and apathy]]
Apathetic agnosticism is not knowing if God/gods exists exist and not caring if God/gods exist.
