Atheism isn't a religion but there is a similarity and they can be just as adamant in their belief and they also tend to proselytize. Agnostics tend to be live and let live. If your beliefs help you in your day to day life... if the help you to survive in a world that can be cruel and sad and hard to understand, then we feel it isn't our place to make you question those beliefs, as much as we'd like to do so. All we ask is that you keep those beliefs in their proper place. It's hard to be kind and gentle to people who tell you that something very bad awaits you due to your inability or refusal to live life based on anything other than reality.
