The whole 'agnostic' versus 'atheist' thing is interesting, and to some extent feels like a way to reduce atheism. The semantic game of 'I don't believe in god' versus 'I believe there is no god', "see, you believe in something you can't prove too!"

"Burden of proof turned upon non-believers" as per Tool's 10,000 Days (Wings for Marie Part 2).

I quite like Stephen F. Roberts' "I just believe in one less god than you".

Agreed, and I've become rather fond of using that line of discussion over the years.
