It is estimated that around 4-5% of the US population identify as atheists, meaning they do not believe in any deities. Additionally, around 6-7% identify as agnostic, meaning they are unsure or do not claim knowledge about the existence of deities.

Poetry in the twentieth century saw a range of movements and styles, including modernism, imagism, surrealism, and confessional poetry. Poets experimented with form, language, and subject matter, breaking traditional rules and exploring new ways of expressing themselves. Influential poets like T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Sylvia Plath, and Allen Ginsberg pushed the boundaries of poetry and brought new perspectives to the art form.

In Gnosticism, the IAO is a sacred name or divine formula representing the supreme god beyond all existence. It is often associated with the mystical journey of the soul and the process of spiritual ascension towards unity with the divine. The term IAO can also symbolize the interplay of masculine, feminine, and neutral energies within the universe.

I couldn't find any specific information about the future Apostle Chairman of the AOG Church of Samoa. It would be best to reach out to the church directly for the most up-to-date information.

In 2012, the Pew Research Center conducted a study, concluding that six percent (6%) of the population within the United States claimed to be either Agnostic or Atheist. The accompanying graph, which can be found on the link below (reference page 9 of the study), would indicate that approximately half of those polled would fall into the "Agnostic" catagory.

Thus, it can be safely concluded that approximately 3% of the population actively identifies with being Agnostic.

The study can be found at the following location:

We may never really know how many American presidents have been atheists, given the potential political cost of admitting to not being a Christian. However, the third American President, Thomas Jefferson, questioned the miracles of the New Testament. Using a razor and paste, he produced a thin volume which is called "The Jefferson Bible". This included the philosophical and moral teachings of Jesus but omitted all claims to miracles or to his divinity. Whether or not Jefferson consciously thought of himself as an atheist, his actions indicate that this is what he actually was.

Agnosticism is just the belief that it is not possible to know with certainty something about a certain subject. The subject it is commonly applied to is Religion and God, but it could be applied to any subject.

As far as I am concerned it is simply a recognition of the finite limits inherent to being human and I consider myself agnostic on certain subjects because I do recognize and admit my own limitations. If I did not consider myself agnostic on those subjects and claimed certain knowledge of them it would be a display of extreme pride and arrogance.

Agnostics celebrate any and every holiday that they choose to celebrate, but they probably don't celebrate religious holidays for the same reasons that believers do. For example, many agnostics celebrate Christmas, just because it is a major secular holiday (as well as a religious one). What prevents an agnostic from celebrating Thanksgiving? It is a wonderful holiday.

Agnosticism is not a single, unified 'religion' or philosophy. Probably, the majority of Agnostics have no particular belief when it comes to the afterlife, but some may have beliefs that are related to a humanistic or scientific understanding of the world. The question is a little like asking: What do non-monarchists believe about foreign trade? People who are not monarchists will include a huge part of the world population with widely varying opinions and beliefs. You don't have to all political beliefs in common in order to be numbered among non-monarchists. It is the same with agnostics, or non sky divers.

"Agnostic" means "not knowing" and that is generally what we believe. We don't know what is out there, and some of us, frankly, don't care, but either way it is impossible to know for sure while we're alive. There may be a Supreme Being, there may be five of them, or there may not be one, but we don't know and we don't think it impacts our lives very much anyway.

Edit:

An Atheist doesn't believe there is a god. A strong atheist believes there are no gods.

Agnosticism addresses a question of knowledge not belief.

Gnostic=Know Agnostic=Don't Know

An Atheist or a Theist can both be either a Gnostic or an Agnostic.

If you think you have psychic powers you have deep seated psychological problems, either self deluding (To be full of one's self, to look in the mirror and say damn i'm sexy, believing your own lies to be truth, and living in your own world) and self aggrandizing (The act or practice of enhancing or exaggerating one's own importance, power, or reputation. ). There are no psychic powers.

The word Agnostic, key word Gnostic meaning pertaining to knowledge; To know. Agnostic is without knowledge. and in most cases it is not KNOWING if there is or is not a god. Which is different than Theism and Atheism which is pertaining to the BELIEF of there being a god or gods.

Neither agnostics or atheists have a symbol. Some atheists use a "Scarlet A" the US gov't uses an stylized atom on atheist/agnostic military graves. There is no approving body for symbols of this nature.

Some people are unsure whether God exists or not because there is no direct evidence

for him.

Another opinion People are unsure that God exists because they do not wish to accept the eyewitness testimony of those who have had dealings with them, despite the great amount of supporting evidence. In terms of inconsistency, many of these people have no trouble accepting the existence of many major ancient personages but doubt Jesus existence despite far greater weight of evidence. Opinion I for one is now not sure if there really is a god. How can a god allow children to go hungry? How can a good god allow children to die of hunger and diseases? How can a good god kill all his own creation sparing only Noah and his family. How can a good god commit genocide to all who has never heard of him? How can a good god assign sin to all mankind for the mere act of eating a certain fruit that he put in the garden himself? These are the kind of questions that prompted me to be unsure in the existence of god Opinion I would rather turn the question around: why are some people sure that a god exists? I have no idea, as there is no evidence to suggest that this is the case.

Answer Many see the existence of a god as unsubstantiated; the burden of proof is not on the skeptic to show absence, but on the believer to show presence. Because of the mere nature of any deity, it is also impossible to show such proof, and hence no rational belief is possible. This leads many to not believe.

Others follow the contradiction reached by the properties claimed about many deities reflected in their actions and commands. A good example is the JudaeoChristian god; how can a benevolent and omnipotent deity allow such harm to come to "His" chosen people?

Counterarguments such as "life is a test" are then themselves countered by the simple fact that a benevolent intelligence would not test, but instead apply their power to help; after all, how many tests must you pass before being admitted into a school or being given a degree? Inconsistencies and gaps in the logic abound in most religions, not just those two.

Yet further reasoning is that a believer has faith because they are "called" or "have their eyes opened" (or however it is described by a particular group). If one does not have their eyes opened, how are they supposed to believe? Thus, there is no point in attempting to believe if you are not called; if you are called then you would believe and the problem is dealt with. In effect, you cannot change something, so allow it to either change or not change as it will. "Can't win, don't try, wait for a consolation prize".

Scientific or imperical proof requires recreation of events by controlling certain factors, and since God cannot be controlled or predicted it is impossible to aquire proof which would suit these methods.

The wise men brought gifts for Jesus of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Mary thanked them for bringing the gifts for Jesus and the wise men left to find a place to sleep for the night. As they were sleeping, they each had the same dream . The wise men were warned by an angel not to go back to King Herod and tell him about where they found the Jesus as King Herod had intended on killing him.

Unanswered prayers can lead to atheism because mos people become desperate in there search for god. They however believe that if god can't answer their prayers then he can't exist. This however is a wrong way to take it because you don't know if the prayer will be answered later in life.

to feel comfort after a hard time in their life, to feel one with god, to remind themselves of what religious leaders went through and because they feel it is their duty to do, and if they do their duties they get to go to the afterlife.
