    Generally: atheists are those that say there are no gods and no goddesses. Agnostics tend to be more on the fence about it, making no claim either way.

    But, as a rule, neither requires that someone is “against religion”.

      In the late 00s there was a New Atheism movement which was more than just not being religious, sometimes called “capital-A atheism.” People conflate that with normal atheism sometimes. That movement split in the 2010s as culture war became more of a thing.

      I’ve always thought that atheists are actively non theistic. Nothing would suggest there is no opinion formed to any conclusion.
