    • Weak atheist: doesn’t think gods exist.
    • Strong atheist: knows that gods do not exist.
    • Weak agnostic: doesn’t know if gods exist.
    • Strong agnostic: says no one can know if any gods exist.
    • Physicalist: doesn’t think supernatural things exist (unlike some atheists who think things like souls/spirits/spirituality/reincarnation exist).

    I’m a weak agnostic, weak atheist, physicalist. I’ll change my position when presented with scientific evidence, or good honest arguments.

      I’m a strong physicalist. If a thing is measurable, it is not supernatural… It is by definition natural. But I think it’s a bit of a tautology as well. Basically things that exist are natural. Supernatural things don’t exist.

      Is there a good way to break it down that isn’t a tautology?
