no. it means he's not sure. that is agnostic.
atheists are certain
"Agnostic" isn't the same as "not sure". Agnosticism is the position that the we can't know for sure whether gods exist or not. You can be agnostic, yet still a true believer. You can also be agnostic AND atheist (you don't believe in god, yet acknowledge it can't be proven one way or another.
Also - and this is important - agnosticism isn't the claim that we haven't 'yet' proven the existence of gods, but rather the position that there is something about the concept which makes their existence un-provable. It's the position that we literally can't know whether gods exist. We have to take it on faith, or not. Most of the religious folks I know are agnostic. Which is to say, they believe in God, but they don't think their belief can be proven like more mundane forms of knowledge.
I don't agree. How do you know what you can't know? As an agnostic I can only say that I do not know, not that I cannot know. To say I cannot is just another unverified belief.
yep
