I always preferred being called an agnostic. Although I don’t buy any philosophy that religions profess, I quite didn’t appreciate being called an atheist. Atheism somehow meant vanity for me. There is so much that we do not know about our own nature and the nature of the universe that surrounds us. We are deceived by our senses and brain perceptions at almost every stage of life and yet how can we be absolutely certain about our faith. It was this dilemma that kept me from calling myself an atheist. I was open to all the convincing arguments put forward by religions so that I could switch sides with them, but somehow luckily for me that never happened. As I learnt more about religion, the more I distanced myself from it.
