Re: 'I'm agnostic'

Why does it have to fundamentally change the way you interact with the world? I'm a Christian and my girlfriend is an atheist and we both pretty much interact with the world in the same way.

nayrt

I think that if you really drill down to... maybe the logical consequences of a certain way of looking at the world, it would make sense that there ought to be differences in your fundamental assumptions about how the world works, and that those should result in different behaviors. But one of the broad characteristics of the (cosmopolitan / urban / rationalistic / modern / Western) world seems to be, for whatever reason, that religion is not a determining factor in this way - it doesn't have that central role.

But I also think that the difference between atheist/Christian is in some ways less than the difference between agnostic and believer/nonbeliever.

Probably because, outside of vague lipservice the western world is to a large extent secular. They just haven't given up the, by this point almost cargo cult replication of religious practices.

You get almost no 'true believers', and when you do, it just serves to underline the stark contrast between the two.

I can see how there might be such differences but I don't understand why you would make that kind of automatic assumption like the anon I was replying to did.

Technically my girlfriend and I are both agnostic; I'm an agnostic theist and she's an agnostic atheist. Which I suppose provides an even stronger argument for why we would think similarly. I can see how a gnostic atheist might have more in common with the kind of gnostic Christians I know than they do with us, like you're saying.
