Atheism however claims God "doesnt" exist.
Agnostics make no knowledgeable claim.
However to claim God doesn't exist, an assumption has to made about "a God" and for anything to not exist now it had o have existed before or you atleast you believed in some context of it. Or else not believing in it now would be pointless. How can someone violently object to something or someone that never existed? Seems odd to me.
If someone ask you about a child you never had, you wouldn't say that child is dead, or he doesnt exist, you'd simply say, "what are you talking about"?
