Just curious what the numbers are like here.

1. Atheist - Atheism, in a broad sense, is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.
2. Theist - Theism in the broadest sense is the belief that at least one deity exists.
3. Agnostic - Agnosticism is the view that the truth value of certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other religious and metaphysical claims—is unknown or unknowable.
4. Ignostic - Ignosticism is the view that a coherent definition of a deity must be put forward before the question of the existence of a deity can be meaningfully discussed. In other words, humans can't comprehend a deity, therefore we can't discuss whether or not that deity exists.

Just for clarity:
While I am aware that a/theism and agnosticism are not mutually exclusive, for the purposes of this poll, you are only atheist if you assert that there is no god. Likewise, you are only theist if you assert that there is a god(s). If you believe that there is/n't a god but claim that your belief can't be proven, you are agnostic in one form or another.
