Subgenera and species

Listed alphabetically within subgenera:[1]

gollark: I'm not sure what you would call them, since "antitheist" is taken for "against belief in god".
gollark: More accurately, you can't prove that god exists, even in a world with said god, for all values of "god".
gollark: Agnostic is "don't know if god or not", not "theism but unsure about exact details".
gollark: I'm in the "there's no proof there's no god but it should probably be treated like any other claim we don't have good evidence for i.e. thought of as false" camp, which probably has a name.
gollark: You *know* there's no god, somehow.
