Personally, as an agnostic, I feel more skeptical towards psychics such as John Edwards in his crossing over program. I find that he tends to use phraseology and manipulative generalisations about people's personal despair when 'communicating' in the realm of the afterlife. Being agnostic means that you are defering your judgement as to whether you feel convinced or unconvinced about the existence of a God(s). This approach can also be applied to supernatural claims as ghosts, spirits, magic, occult. Whilst I have no personal belief in these supernatural claims, I do not qualify as an atheist because I don't conclude that these subjects don't exist in a physical context.
