An agnostic neither affirms nor denies the existence of God. But atheist affirms with certainty the non-existence of God.

In my estimation, the critique of the book did a good job of showing that Boghossian could do with Boghossian's advice: “You need to become comfortable in not knowing and not pretending to know . . . “

Boghossian hasn't sufficiently proven there is no God...

Is that accurate? I thought being atheist just meant you don't believe in a deity.
