Agnosticism, Not Atheism

I would like to point out that spiritual agnosticism is not synonymous with "atheism." Atheists firmly state that God does not, never has, and never will exist. Agnostics, on the other hand, acknowledge that while atheists may be able to support this claim, they cannot prove it. Agnostics say that God could exist.

Spiritual agnosticism is a rejection of religion, not of God's exstence. Since spiritual agnostics realize that God may or may not exist, they are considered part of the "agnosticism tent."

More importantly, spiritual agnosticism is distinguished from other types of agnosticism simply by the phrase "it doesn't matter." A spiritual agnostic would say "It doesn't matter whether God exists or not, or how you worhip God, what the afterlife consists of, etc."

Remember that spiritual agnostics emphasize the importance of the conscience. Since no human being can describe the divine with absolute certainty, spiritual agnostics instead place their confidence in this life's most reliable gauge of "goodness:" the conscience.
