Q: Is Agnosticism opposed to Gnosticism?
When we view the interaction between Theism and Atheism [theists and atheists] there is clearly opposition.
Traditionally agnosticism is viewed as a subset of atheism, rather than a position independent from either theism or atheism.
As such, I no longer refer to myself as an "Agnostic" because it appears that ship has sailed, and flies under the banner of Atheism.
Since I am neither theist or atheist, I am identifying my position as "Natural-Neutral" as I am not apposed to Gnosticism [which Agnosticism implies] any more than I am opposed to any other form of theism. Nor am I opposed to atheism.
If I am opposed to anything, it is to established beliefs within those sectors which are not aligned with the truth of our collective ignorance.
