just thought an article from 'outside' might be helpful to the discussion.

My take is that the article was a political response rather than a philosophic one. The guy seems to me more an advocate than a teacher. He wants to increase and consolidate his ranks. Agnosticism rejects atheism as too strident and hostile, thus aligning even agnostics with the vast ranks of those who are negative about atheism. A larger atheist demographic is in his interests. There is a lot of difference between Madalyn Murray O'Hair and an inherently innocuous agnostic, particularly politically.
