11. Atheist TBH more honest than agnostic

First atheism asserts a lack of belief in a god not a denial of a god. The onus is on the hoper and believer to proof their assertion of the existence of a god.
Second agnosticism equates theism (lacking in proof) with atheism (lacking in belief) which is not equitable. Just as Republican Party hypocrisy is not equivalent to Democratic Party ideals and intentions. To equate the two is not an honest and fair comparison.
