Lack of belief is more like agnosticism. Atheism is the belief there is no god.

I actually met a Thor worshiper once... they are out there.
Many worship him from afar -after all he is pretty cute- but they soon back off when they realize the true extent of his warmongering capabilities. And the mess he leaves behind.

No, agnosticism is the belief that it is impossible to know for sure. Atheism is the lack of a belief in gods. You can be both atheist and agnostic.

I agree it's not agnosticism -I said it's "more like" it.

I believe that you are wrong in your definitions, and that this argument has once again come full circle without any productivity. I also believe I don't really care enough to argue any further.
