Atheists do not believe in god.
Agnostics dont believe god exists but wont rule out the possibility that he might exist.

Better to have an open mind about the possibilities

You're probably going to be hammered for that one.

Not really, Atheism means you KNOW there is no god. (Atheists don't "believe" anything.) Agnosticism means you don't know whether there is or isn't a god. And religious, of course, means you believe in a god.

atheist is claiming not to believe in God and kinda fights with ppl who believe
agnostic believes there might be some 'force' but no one is able to prove its exstance. so he doesn't call it God

Atheism is the belief that there is no god or the absence of a belief that there is a god.

An agnostic is one who is doubtful of the existence of god, but does not profess true atheism.

Atheism is the belief Not the knowledge, as it is impossible to prove a negative...) that there is no God or higher power...
Agnosticism (against or without knowledge...) is not the belief that there may or may not be a god, but the belief that if there is a god it would be impossible for humans to understand or have knowledge of that god's aims, ideals, plans, etc... which is why many of us divide them into Agnostics (capital A) who believe the above, and agnostics (lower case a) who are the "there might be, or there might not be" brigade.... in many ways, agnostics are the same as christians.... (as opposed to Christians...)

Well depending on yours answers I might open another thread but let keep as:

I understand what is a agnostic. Can we divide atheists in a way that separate a) the "bully" ones (let's say) that constantly remind others on their condition an often debates with religious.
b) the ones that think that there is no point in discussing among believers (when it's usually a debate biased and far away from a theology conversation or such thing) and if they debate "follow" the believer and argue about/against his/her side, I mean only discuss "religious contradictions" and not depart from a: "Ok I'm a atheist so..." I think this kind can even dig in a whole debate without even mention his/her beliefs, only because it doesn't matter.

What leads me to this, just a quote "atheists are a fundamentalist sect" It was just only a sarcasm but most of the time you find the first kind and not the second one. Is any classification or argue like that (perhaps It's not a big deal anyway) Just quoted from Corran in another thread "Atheism is a non-prophet organisation."

Other topic what about people like S. Hawking that refutes God existence only based in something like "God could not have place in a Universe like this one (referring only to conditions entropy and that stuff)" I think He matches with agnostics or closer

I think it is that athiests don't believe in God at all, and agnostics say that they will believe in God if He is proved to them
