Technically, every man woman and child is agnostic, there are no theists or atheists. We can believe we know, but in the true sense of what it is to know something, the existence of God is not like that. I can say there is a cup on the table and I can say I there is a God but the existence of the cup is 'knowable' (with caveats for my ability to interpret my senses). I think this was one of Mark Vernon's points.

A bit off topic, I wonder if anyone has declared which God of which Religion created another God of another religion.

In other words, which was the first God, and in what sequence were they created by which God?
