Agnosticism does no such thing. Theism does no such thing.
An agnostic view acknowledges there is potential for reality outside their own experience.

Er, just one question here Yorick;
But wouldn´t a believer do the same in reverse as the Atheist ion your example? Doesn´t your belief and faith in God makes you see the world from that belief and the Atheist in it? Sorry, I might be grasping a straw here, but I didn´t like the phrasings really, and might also suit me right for reading the complete thread but oboy... This one grows...
I have always called myself an atheist, maybe I should be an agnostic. But I actually prefer to call my self a human without beliefs plain and simple, and thus, I have never placed much value to any descriptions. And as Cerek said above. I don´t think I would have changed. I still do what I think is right, and try to do my best.
And just for the argument of changing to a lighter side of the discussion: Congrats to the gig Yorick! When will be able to see you live in Göteborg??
