Although unremittingly denied, the reality is that the agnostic population far outweighs that of any religious or antireligious system… I hope I now have your attention. When humanity chooses to simply believe or not believe because of faith or lack there of, respectively, the cause for this is not as complicated as you may think; it’s as simple as fear. Fear of the unknown, the indefinite.
Through the persistent pressures of fear creating an inability to admit our realization, we assist and ultimately feed this denial. Additionally, humanity has a natural tendency to react by way of assuming any possible reasoning that will aid in avoiding situations that we don’t understand. This assumed reasoning will become temporary fact through the eyes of the avoider and, if this continues without reassessment, that reasoning will eventually develop into truth. It makes me question just how much of what we know as fact or truth is, in reality, nothing more than disregarded assumed reasoning; and I’d hope it would make you wonder too…
To put it straightforward, humanity has a trying time with anything indefinite or unknown and finds it an all the more challenging task to accept and admit the reality that we truly don’t know the answer…

Honest agnosticism leads to atheism. Where an agnostic admits that they can not know whether a god or gods exist, atheism is the lack of belief due to absence of evidence. Agnosticism and atheism are not mutually exclusive. If one admits they don't have sufficient evidence to know the existence of a god or gods then they have no reason to believe in a god or gods, thus being an atheist.
