Template:Stub Agnosticism is the belief that God's existence or lack of existence can be neither proved nor disproved. Agnostics differ from atheists in that they do not necessarily deny God's existence.
The word "agnostic" was coined by the philosopher Herbert Spencer, from the Greek roots a- not, and -gnostic, knowing. (It has no connection with the use of the word Gnostic to describe some early Christian sects).
