I always thought of Atheism as a personal thing, like two Atheists might not have the same exact beliefs. But I guess if people come together then they'll have a bigger voice.

I thought agnostic was when you were undecided if there was a god or not.

It's basically between atheist and religious. You're just unsure on religion.

Kind of reminds me of that thing Ash is a part of. The Brights, or something.

Agnostic is the belief that there is or is a possibility of a god-like figure existing, and atheist is one who doesn't believe in any religion.

So pretty much what I said?

Agnostics seem to be as confusing to explain as Mormons and Jehovah's Whitnesses.
