They were commenting on gnostics being combined with atheists and agnostics. Not agnostics.
The first comment stated that atheist, agnostic, and unspecified gnostics were lumped together. They are saying that unspecified gnostics are radically different from the other two.
No, the first person misunderstood what the article said…
A new study from Pew Research finds that the religiously unaffiliated – a group comprised of atheists, agnostic and those who say their religion is “nothing in particular” – is now the largest cohort in the U.S. They’re more prevalent among American adults than Catholics (23%) or evangelical Protestants (24%).
I just didn’t explain every way they were wrong in my reply.
And when someone replies to me going off what that comment said and not what the article said, I had no idea what they were talking about.
“Nothing in particular” doesn’t mean they believe in a higher power, it could just be “don’t be a dick to others” without some higher power telling them that.
Do you think thats what agnostic means?
Because that’s not what it means…
You misunderstood what they said.

You thought they misunderstood what agnosticism was. You were wrong. It’s okay.
I thought that’s what they were talking about about.
Instead they were talking about something not in the article that the first commenter made up.
It’s fine, but that’s what it is.
