Many people confuse agnosticism with atheism. Agnostics and atheists have very different viewpoints about God’s existence.

An agnostic individual has faith in the agnosticism philosophy and neither believes nor disbelieves about God’s existence, whereas Atheism rejects the presence of God.

Agnosticism states that God or existence or the divine is unknowable (impossible to know by knowledge) by human beings.

– Sydney J. Harris
