[Vision2020] Status of UI Agnostic/Atheist Organization

[Ted Moffett]

Tom and others:

Agnostics do NOT believe in God.  Agnostics believe that the issue is in 
doubt enough that they neither believe in God nor do they absolutely assert 
there is no God.  Atheists deny belief in God with little room for doubt.  
Therefore both points of view question fundamental assumptions of many 
traditional religious systems, including two powerful monotheistic 
religions, Islam and Christianity.
