Agnostic is a non-profit and non-prophet community for people who are naturally good without any gods. Our members have a wide range of views about what the site should be about. For some, it's a place to nurture humanist or non-religious principles. For others, it's a place to recover from a religious past or to reaffirm one's non-theism.



We hope to provide a safe place for people to share their thoughts and opinions, get involved in secular causes, keep up with news, and even meet others. We are not an anti-religion website.



Note: we share members and content (e.g., groups and posts) with our sister site at https://humanist.com. Members can hide their profile from agnostic.com on the bottom of their settings page.

We want to be defined by principles and not what we don't believe.



The following are core principles * we agree with: Be open-minded and be willing to alter your beliefs with new evidence. Strive to understand what is most likely to be true, not to believe what you wish to be true. The scientific method is the most reliable way of understanding the natural world. Every person has the right to control of their body. A god is not necessary to be a good person or to live a full and meaningful life. Be mindful of the consequences of all your actions and recognize that you must take responsibility for them. Treat others as you would want them to treat you, and can reasonably expect them to want to be treated. Think about their perspective. We have the responsibility to consider others, including future generations. There is no one right way to live. Leave the world a better place than you found it. * These guidelines can be found in the book ' Atheist Mind, Humanist Heart ' by Lex Bayer and John Figdor

Agnosticism is the view that the existence of God is unknown or unknowable. Atheism is simply living life without any gods. Most people who have one view, also has the other.

If you want to make donations to similar causes we suggest the following organizations:

American Humanist Association

The AHA strives to bring about a progressive society where being “good without a god” is an accepted way to live life. They accomplish this through the defense of civil liberties and secular governance, by outreach to the growing number of people without religious belief or preference, and through a continued refinement and advancement of the humanist worldview.

Freedom From Religion Foundation

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is a watchdog organization working to keep church and state separate and has had many significant legal accomplishments nationwide. They have taken and won more challenges of the "faith-based initiative" than any other national group to date. The national Foundation has brought more than 85 First Amendment lawsuits since 1977, and keeps several Establishment law challenges in the courts at all times.

American Atheists

Since 1963, American Atheists has protected the absolute separation of religion from government and raised the profile of atheists and atheism in our nation’s public and political discourse. American Atheists appears to take a more adversarial stance that religious views are wrong than the other two organizations.
