agnostic / atheist

I have long debated my own beliefs. I am not religious, I am an agnostic/atheist. more importantly i am a bright(link below). there are many arguments amongst non religious types as to what an agnostic or an atheist is. the comment from askegg below this piece is the most succinct version i have heard. I wrote the below when I was about 18, I still believe some of what it says.

I am agnostic, This leaves me with the power never to be wrong, and to never stand corrected. I accept your beliefs, because i have neither the evidence, nor the intellect, to prove them incorrect, neither, may i point out, does anyone else.
I do not believe in anything i have not see. Yet i do not dispute it could exist.
This includes everything from Santa to Satan.
I will never preach to others my own individual beliefs, because i have absolutely no conviction in them, at least i am honest.
I once saw Elvis in my local supermarket, that did not mean that Elvis was alive, it simply meant that I, once saw Elvis, in my, local supermarket!
If the entire population of the world were agnostic, there would be no wars, no fighting, no arguments. We would live in peace as brothers and sisters, comfortable with the fact we are all different.
The only way that anyone of us will apologise to the next one is when we die, and the truth is revealed. I will not need to apologise.
I can remain happy within this life knowing that i do not know the next chapter of religious evolution.

At the end of the day, all religions give and receive gifts, wrapped in various forms, as part of some celebration.

The only guarantee i can give, is when these gifts are unwrapped, someone will be disappointed.
