Hi Jaej - thanks for your speedy reply. What I mean is that I think there is a perception, certainly here in the UK, that being an Agnostic is just a lazy choice for those people who can't be bothered believing in anything. I really wanted to take a more positive and active approach by being comfortable with the idea of Agnosticism and talking, listening and engaging in the subject. I wouldn't like to see Agnosticism as something wishy-washy or to be ashamed of. I haven't tried to hide it, but I think there is a temptation for some people not to engage in thinking about issues such as who are we, why are we here, what might happen next etc. Many people I know either seem to "sign up" to religion or disengage themselves with the issues, trying to blot them out.

I don't know if this answers your query, but all the best anyway and thanks for responding to my post.

Cheers

UK Jim
