I must admit, I more or less agree with the commentary.

> Our definitions become our axioms so to speak.

> I fully understand that as if we use a weak atheist definition, then I am an atheist, by that definition. But a weak atheist also does not disbelieve in god. So saying atheists don't actually disbelieve in god looses it punch somehow.

> But the commentator does touch on a relevant point for me - agnosticism is how we handle knowing, not just belief. These (and faith) are thought - it's how we handle thought.-Great analysis.
