I think that anyone who is honest with themselves would admit to having some degree of agnosticism about ANY of their beliefs. This includes solid Christians.
​
Now per atheism:
​
ATHEIST: One who denies the existence of God.
​
A common working definition of atheism divides it into two types:
​
Weak atheism: No belief in God. Probably a variation of agnosticism. Perhaps call it "non-theism", or "without theism".
​
Strong atheism: Belief there is no God. In it's extreme form, totally not agnostic. Perhaps call it "anti-theism".
