My point is,why can't they both be termed religions. I believe that
whatever I feel at that moment is my religion. Presently, I'm agnostic
therefore it is my religion. Hence if it is a religion for me then it is a
religion for all who have similar beliefs. Also I take a positive stance
on agnosticism. There is no lack of faith, etc. I honestly think man
couldn't possibly know anything beyond his own existance. This is not
hedging my bets.
