    "Agnosticism" is really only an epistemological stance, stating that whether God exists cannot be certainly known.
    However, in practice, it is often used by people who are simply undecided on what to believe.

    But, under the more correct usage of the term, a person could just as easily be an agnostic atheist as an agnostic theist.

    ISFJ - The Nurturers

    I think I'd say I'm similar to a few of you, unsure of the unknown. I'm a ISFJ, raised in a Christian home, but am unsure of what to believe in, I've been this way for awhile now, and not sure I'll ever really know for myself. Granted, I have respect for others and what they want to believe in.

    INTP - The Thinkers

    Personality Type: INTP.

    Religion: As stated in my Introduction, I believe it is impossible to know whether or not (a) god(s), goddess(es), etc., exist(s), but I find it improbable and therefore generally associate with the title "Atheist," though I technically am "Agnostic"; hence, the title of "Atheistic Agnostic."

    I worship the dark Gods of Chaos!


    "In the Warp, similar thoughts and emotions gather together like rivulets of water running down a cliff face. They form the streams and eddies of anguish and desire,
    pools of hatred and torrents of pride. For billions of years these tides and waves flowed unceasingly through Warpspace, and such is their power that they formed creatures made of the stuff of Warspace.

    These instinctual, formless beings gained rudimentary consciousness and the Chaos Gods were born - vast psychic presences made of the dreams and nightmares of mortals. As the races of the galaxy prospered and grew, so too did their hopes and dreams, their rage and wars, their love and hatred, feeding the Chaos Gods and nurturing their power. Eventually, the gods reached into the dreams of mortals to demand praise and servitude.

    A Chaos God can only grow in power through the actions and thoughts of mortals. Those that worship a Chaos God and behave in a way that feeds it are rewarded with strange gifts, extraordinary powers and, potentially, immortality as Daemon Princes. As the Chaos Gods battle in the Warp, so their followers wage war upon each other in the material universe. The victors of these battles earn more power for their unwordly master, although the twisted plans of the Chaos Gods are such that often victory is not necessary, merely the sacrifice and battle."


    The Chaos Gods:



    KHORNE:

    "Khorne is the Blood God, an angry and murderous God of Chaos whose bellows of insatiable rage echo throughout time and space. His great brass throne sits upon a mountain of skulls in the midst of a plain of splintered bones and lakes of blood; the remains of his followers slain in battle and those killed in his name. Khorne embodies mindless and absolute violence, destroying everyone and everything within reach, slaying both friend and foe alike.

    The followers of Khorne are always ferocious warriors, for the Blood God abhors the trickery of magic and cowardly sorcerers. Men turn to Khorne for the power to conquer, to defeat their enemies in battle, to wreak bloody vengeance and to attain unimaginable martial prowess. The most fanatical and dedicated of his followers, those trapped fully within his clawed grasp, know that he desires only wild slaughter. Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows, only that it does."



    TZEENTCH:


    "Tzeentch is known by many titles, including the Changer of the Ways, Master of Fortune, Great Conspirator and Architect of Fate. He is the Great Sorcerer, the god of magic and master of the mutable stream of destiny and time. Tzeentch is the most weirdly disturbing of all the Chaos Gods. His skin crawls with constantly changing faces that leer at and mock those who look upon him. As mighty Tzeentch speaks, these faces repeat his words, often with subtle but important differences of inonation and meaning.

    Plotters and schemers find themselves drawn to Tzeentch, especially those who crave magical power to achieve their goals. Politicians and leaders, magisters and cultists, all are inexorably drawn along convuluted paths of fate, using Tzeentch to achieve their dreams and aspirations but ultimately they are led into Tzeentch's eternal schemes. No man could fully comprehend the full nature of the intricately woven, multi-layered plots of Tzeentch, and even to attempt to do so is to court insanity. In fact, Tzeentch does not have a grand plan, an ineffable goal to fulfil. For Tzeentch the mere act of plotting and endlessly entwining the brief fates of mortals is fulfilment enough. There is no end to his scheming for he desires no end. Tzeentch can never achieve and ultimate aim for it would be the end of ambition and hence the end for the lord of destiny."



    NURGLE:

    "Nurgle is the great Lord of Decay who presides over physical corruption and morbidity. Disease and putrefaction, the inevitable entropic decline of all things, are the wonders he bestows upon the universe. The god's immense body is bloated with corruption and exudes a sickly, diseased stench. His skin is greenish, leathery and necrotic, its surface pock-marked with boilds, running sores and infestations. From his exposed guts spill tiny Daemons, the Nurglings, who sup upon the filthy juices that pour from Nurgle's festering wounds.

    It is to free themselves from despair - the mortal dread of illness, starvation and death - that men turn to Grandfather Nurgle. He is a warm, welcoming god, who prides himself on the achievements of his followers, gifting them with hideous diseases even as he protects them from pain and the ravages of death. The fear of death can be found in the hearts of all sentient creatures, and so there is no shortage of mortals willing to sacrifice their immortal souls in return for the corrupted preservation of their bodies."


    SLAANESH:


    "Slaanesh is the youngest of the Chaos Gods and known as the Prince of Chaos, or the Prince of Pleasure. Alone of all the Chaos Gods, Slaanesh is divinely beautiful. He is as seductive as only an immortal can be, disarming in his innocence, utterly beguiling in his manner and irresistibly tempting in his words. Slaanesh can assume male, female or hermaphroditic form at will, and it is impossible for a mortal to look upon him without losing his soul and becoming a slave to Slaanesh's slightest whim.

    Mortals that seek charisma and felloship turn to Slaanesh, for his gifts can make one popular and inspiring. Poets and artists are drawn into his gaze by the promise of inspiration and fame, while even the hardiest of warriors might seek the adulation of the masses and the unflinching loyalty of their followers. Yet as one continues in the service of Slaanesh, such pleasures grow stale, and his servants are driven on to search for even greater sensations, ever higher acts of self-fulfilment and worship, until only the most decadent and debased acts can stir their emotions."

    This is false. Atheism is simply lack of a belief in gods and goddesses. The term says absolutely nothing about other supernatural phenomena. The term that is used for those who do not believe in anything supernatural is "Naturalist" or "Bright".
