Agnosticism : ~Believe {God(s) exist} is true Atheism :
Believe {God(s) exist} is ~true

Which are equivalent in a two-valued logic system.

Am I the only one who read this and thought, "huh?"  Can you parse
that out for me...?



Agnostics don't believe that it is true that God(s) exist.
Atheists believe that it is not true that God(s) exist.

In normal binary logic (true/false) these are equivalent since ~true (NOT true) = false (and ~false = true).
