X, did you know that the word "agnostic" doesn't mean what most people think it means? It was coined by Thomas Huxley in the latter part of the 18th century as a joke. He was asked what he thought the nature of god was and he replied "I am an agnostic", meaning that he had no idea what god was like (the Gnostics thought it was possible to know the nature of god). An atheist is one who has no belief in god, so in this sense infants are atheists because they haven't been taught to believe yet. It is also possible for a believer to be an agnostic. Paul
