I think in some instances your boyfriend is right, because there's an even bigger stigma to being an Atheist than there is to being Agnostic. But for the most part, some people just aren't sure either way. I don't agree that Agnostics are waiting for proof either way. Some people live their life on the fence. I am an Atheist and you're right that it takes just as much faith to say there is no God/dess as to say there is. I'm a to each his own kind of person. Whatever gets you through the day and helps you be a good person and good to others, go for it.
