Question

Hi. I handed out a survey for a science class and I had to collect demographics. One of the demographic questions was asking about students' religion. Two students said they were agonists. What is an agonist? Is agonism really a religion? I was looking on Wikipedia and it said that it was a political theory.

Answer 1

I suspect the students mean agnostic. Agnostic, for most people means unsure, or uncertain.

The word agnostic has an interesting history, especially from the Greek root.

Answer 2

An agnostic doesn't know whether God exists.

An atheist knows that God doesn't exist.

Answer 3
