∙ 11y agoAgnostics don't know (and potentially don't care) if there is a god or not. Atheists have reached a conclusion about god that indicates that there is no god, This is not "rejecting" god any more than children reject the monster under he bed as they grow older - they just realize that there is no such thing.

What is etheiem?

Who is the founder of atheism?
No one founder of agnosticism has existed. The word is a variant of agnosis, which simply means "not knowing," and people use it in reference to their belief that a person cannot truly know whether or not a god does or does not, or gods do or do not, exist. That is strong agnosticism. Weak agnosticism is an individual's being undecided.If it can be said that there was a main proponent of agnosticism, then that proponent was one of Charles Darwin's staunchest defenders, Thomas Henry Huxley. He noted that others had too-strong beliefs--he called them gnostics--whilst he was still searching. For him, agnosticism was an epistemological method, one that might have been equated with rationalism, and thus did not conflict with his being an atheist in metaphysics.Hence, it is possible for a person to be both a strong agnostic and an atheist. Rationalists declare their argumentation defensible and maintain that agnosticism applies. But some of these consider strong agnosticism wrong in that the arguments against God and the arguments for naturalism succeed. It is therefore a matter of judgment. Graham Robert Oppy, in Arguing About Gods,expresses the fallibilist attitude and explains weak agnosticism.

What is lack of religious belief and values?
Some would argue that is agnosticism or atheism. However, simply having a lack of religious belief or values makes a person a secularists in the most primary sense. Agnosticism and atheism are stated positions that come through a tremendous amount of contemplation and thinking. Atheism is a complete disavowal that any deity or god(s) exist (or at least a 99% certainty if one tends to be an empiricist). Agnostics tend toward continued debate on the issue. Short answer: Secularism.
