I think expecting words to mean the same thing in the real world as in a fantasy setting, which has actual gods and magic, is kinda silly.

I mean, just look at the word "magic": in the real world, it doesn't mean fireballs, a glowing sword, or having a wolf spirit make you run faster ... it means Penn and Teller performing illusions ("illusions" with the real-world meaning, not the EQ "Illusion: Dark Elf" meaning).

Honestly the "EQ definition" of agnostic isn't really much different form the real-world meaning, but even so, if words like magic and illusion can have much different meanings in EQ, why can't agnostic?
