It is a condemnation of religion (in the name of humility, no less), but it is also cautious (as feminists must be) about the urge to fill the void. <br /><br />It seems as though you've made room for multiple definitions of atheism (belief in non-existence, the rejection of belief, etc.), but not of agnosticism. For some, it is "I don't know yet," for others it marks the impossibility of metaphysics and a rejection of the determinacy of meaning. This last is more an ethical humility and a challenge to humanism than it is a waffle.ThePeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389598497322836001noreply@blogger.com
