Out of pure curiosity, I'd like to know what portion of NB have certain views (listed above). Also it'd be cool to know why you chose that specific worldview as your own and what is your backround.
I myself am an atheist and more specifically agnostic atheist as I don't believe in any deity but I don't claim to know for sure that there is no possibility for the existence of god, since I can't prove such a thing. So I guess I'm a bit both but first and foremost I'm an atheist. Why? Because there is no reason for me to believe that there is a god. Science can answer all the important issues conserning the existence of the universe. Backround: I was baptised as a christian but I resigned myself from the church at the age of 18-19.
Atheist: Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities.
Agnostic: An agnostic is anyone who doesn't claim to know for that any gods exist or not, no matter what their reasons or how they approach the question of whether any gods exist. Agnosticism is the view that, the truth values of certain claims – especially metaphysical and religious claims such as whether God, the divine or the supernatural exist – are unknown and perhaps unknowable. In the popular sense of the term, an agnostic is someone who neither believes nor disbelieves in God, whereas an atheist disbelieves in God.
Theist: Theism, in the field of comparative religion, is the belief in the existence of deities. In popular parlance, the term theism often describes the classical conception of god(s) that is found in the monotheistic and polytheistic religions. This view also involves pantheism.
