    The real question is. Is agnosticism the epitome of open mindedness or close mindedness? Since no one believes categorically that god does or does not exist we are all essentially agnostic since there is that doubt in our minds. Kinda along the same lines as what LordKerwyn said, you cannot say one group is close minded while another isn't. You’re just attempting to isolate your views with the bizarre belief that you are capable of believing something which someone else is too "close minded" to.

    To juxtaposes what Darth said, agnosticism is the affirmation of mans ability to think for himself as religious concepts of god (Either being something or not) are impossible to actually grasp outside of agnosticism as it contrasts directly with our ability to think. I think what I’m trying to say is religion is a weak concept which in no way defines if you are open or close minded as no one completely believes in what one camp believes.
