Agnostic is *NOT* a subset of atheism… Atheist please stop telling people that it is!

Atheist please stop saying agnosticism is a subset of atheism…it is not philosophy!!!! You are spreading misinformation.

“The latter classifies these attitudes with a simple three-fold scheme: either we believe a proposition or we disbelieve it or we withhold judgement on it.”

THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF BELIEF AND THE
EPISTEMOLOGY OF DEGREES OF BELIEF
Richard Foley

i.e. Theist, atheist or Agnostic.

“Belief, disbelief, and suspension of judgment
There are three cognitive (or epistemic) attitudes one can take toward a proposition.

These are the following:
• Belief. If you conclude that a proposition is true, then
the appropriate attitude toward that proposition is belief.

• Disbelief. If you conclude that a proposition is false, then
the appropriate attitude toward that proposition is disbelief.

• Suspension of Judgment. If you are unable to reach a
conclusion concerning the truth-value of p, then the
appropriate attitude toward p is suspension of judgment.”

i.e. Theism, Atheism, and Agnostic

Again…please stop telling people stuff that is clearly and demonstrably untrue.
