I don't consider the decision to be an agnostic a moral decision. I consider it to just be the way I perceive the world. I do not perceive I have any choice about the way I perceive things- unless of course I choose to take mind altering chemicals, that would alter the world for me no doubt but that is not something I will do.. I believe what is in front of me, and that is what is in front of me. I take no moral credit for the decision at all, any more than my acceptance that the sky appears blue is a moral decision. For me such things are just the way things are. And I accept that the way things are, are different for other people. And I don't find anything very moral in other people's decisions to believe things that seem apparent to them. I fail to see any great good in that, just as I fail to see any real moral choice.
