So when you say "agnostic atheism" you mean the non-religious meaning of agnostic as well?

What do you mean?

Agnostic

(in a nonreligious context) having a doubtful or noncommittal attitude toward something.
"until now I've been fairly agnostic about electoral reform"

Hmm true, I need two or three men to come with me.

That's sexist. :p

Judging from the lack of replies it seems the group isn't interested in playing either. Pity, that.

*the group has no idea what you're talking about

Multiplayer games. Free weekends.

I'm talking about a different gnosticism.

Gnosticism means "having knowledge" and that's where agnosticism got its name.

So when you say "agnostic atheism" you mean the non-religious meaning of agnostic as well?
Why not use "extreme atheism" and "moderate atheism" instead so as not to confuse with the religious/spiritual belief of agnosticism?

Gnosticism is/was a specific religion/cult. A person who believes in Gnosticism is by definition a theist.

What the fuck?

Robomagon just doesn't seem to understand how agnosticism and gnosticism works.

Gnosticism is/was a group of spiritual religions/cults. A person who believes in Gnosticism is by definition a theist.

Correct.

In other words, an atheist will believe no God or gods exist no matter what.

I'm pretty sure that's wrong, and that there's a gray line somewhere.

Yes. That grey line is called agnosticism...

Agnostic atheist: does not believe in a god, but is open to the idea of a god existing and does not claim to "know" whether a god exists or not

Describe how that in any way differs from "non-atheist" agnosticism.

Agnostic. You don't know which god might be real. You're not sure if any of them are. You're agnostic.

So then an atheist firmly believes no God or gods exist?

wut

Correct.

I'm not saying that phrase hasn't been uttered by English speakers. I'm saying that phrase is stupid and nonsensical because it contradicts itself.

It doesn't contradict itself, though.

It does. It's like calling yourself a non-partisan Republican.
