Atheists & Agnostics

About being an Atheist or a Theist.
To me Agnostic means: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (such as God) is unknown and probably unknowable.
So to me an Agnostic thinks you can never prove the existence of a god nor can you ever prove the non-existence of a god
As an Atheist, I think there could be valid evidence for the non-existence or existence of a god. It just hasn't happened yet.
I like your term soft Atheist. It may get some people to understand what you are trying to to say.

I absolutely don't believe there is a "god". I don't care if others do or don't believe.

When I became an atheist at 14 years old, I was very gung-oh about it and considered myselt to be a Militant Atheist.

The Christian religion is based on what many people came to believe two thousand years ago.
