The website AllAboutPhilosophy.com declares concerning agnostic beliefs:
Types of agnosticism
The website The Basics of Philosophy indicates about the various types of agnosticism:
| “ | Strong Agnosticism:
This is the view (also called hard agnosticism, closed agnosticism, strict agnosticism, absolute agnosticism or epistemological agnosticism) that the question of the existence or non-existence of God or gods is unknowable by reason of our natural inability to verify any experience with anything but another subjective experience. Mild Agnosticism: This is the view (also called weak agnosticism, soft agnosticism, open agnosticism, empirical agnosticism, or temporal agnosticism) that the existence or non-existence of God or gods is currently unknown but is not necessarily unknowable, therefore one will withhold judgment until more evidence becomes available. Pragmatic Agnosticism: This is the view that there is no proof of either the existence or non-existence of God or gods. Apathetic Agnosticism: This is the view that there is no proof of either the existence or non-existence of God or gods, but since any God or gods that may exist appear unconcerned for the universe or the welfare of its inhabitants, the question is largely academic anyway. Agnostic Theism: This is the view (also called religious agnosticism) of those who do not claim to know of the existence of God or gods, but still believe in such an existence. Agnostic Atheism: This is the view of those who claim not to know of the existence or non-existence of God or gods, but do not believe in them.[1] |
