I have taken this almost verbatim from Richard Dawkin's book The God Delusion, which is my current light summer reading.
1. Strong Theist, 100 percent probabilty of God, you have no doubt whatsoever.
2. De Facto Theist, very high probability but short of 100 Percent. YOu are not completely sure but you strongly believe there is a God.
3. Technically agnostic but leaning to theist, you are higher than 50% but not very high. You are uncertain, but you are inclined to believe in God.
4. Completely impartial agnostic, you are exactly 50% believer and 50% non believer. You believe God's existence is equally probable or non probable.
5. Technically agnostic but leaning towards atheist, you have less than a 50% belief in a god. You don't know whether God exists, but you lean towards skepticism.
6. Defacto atheist, very low probability but short of zero. You can't know for certain whether God exists, but you live your life on the assumption God does not exist.
7. Strong atheist, you know there is no God without any doubt whatsoever.
I used to be a category 7, but as I got older (and wiser) I realised that a belief without proof is a religion, so I have drifted more towards 6. I am pretty confident in the non existence of gods, but if I was given proof a god existed I would be able to accept that.
What category are you?
