An agnostic is just an indecisive atheist. How can one really be UNSURE if something as big as the idea of a god exists or not, if there is no concrete evidence of it, why are you unsure, if there is evidence, you aren't agnostic.

Yea this is correct, and I'm well aware of this whole criticism of agnosticism. The reason I put agnostic instead of atheist is simply because:
1. Agnosticism admits the insufficiency of explanation found in belief systems (Atheism, theism). It is the acknowledgement of unknowable truth.
2. If there's a word for the attitude "I'm atheist, but I acknowledge the factual insufficiency and inherent unknowableness of atheism", well that's me.
3. That makes me an agnostic atheist.
4. I didn't want this to turn into a discussion
I don't have anything against theists, many of my best friends have been religious people and of all the best people I've actually met, the majority were christian.

Agnostic Atheist - Believes that God does not exist nor does he care if he exists. This person doesn't see any proof that he exists one way or another, and has decided that he must not be there. This is what is called being logical - I see no proof of existence, therefore there must be proof. Most people would call this classification 'agnostic'.

This basically
I still reserve the right to bash cultlike scam religions with prophets known for their tall tales.
