Agnosticism is defined as which of the following?

• A. Belief that nothing can be known about whether God exists
• B. Belief that God exists
• C. Belief that God does not exist
• D. Belief that God can be known through reason alone

Answer: (B)

Agnosticism centers on knowledge about God’s existence, not on a commitment to belief about God itself. It holds that we cannot know for sure whether God exists, or that such knowledge is unattainable. This makes the option that says nothing can be known about whether God exists the best fit. It isn’t asserting that God exists, nor that God does not exist, nor that God’s existence can be known through reason alone.
