"Nevertheless you treat them as such just as most "freethinkers" do."

That is simply a lie. I am always sensitive to the meaning of words and try to always use them correctly. If they are used incorrectly then the result is irrational opinions and feckless arguments. You have been the poster boy for this true statement of fact.

If a person says he is an atheist, we know only ONE thing about him: that he does not believe in the existence of a god or gods.

We don't know what his politics are or what size his feet are. We don't know if he is a reckless driver or a slow one. We don't know if he likes reading mysteries--or classics from Greek culture. We don't know his income, we don't know his intelligence, we don't know his weight or his height or how many kidneys he has. We know nothing about him.

Likewise, we know nothing about an agnostic except that he is an agnostic.

But this is way too complicated for you, isn't it??
