You are correct in that direct contradictions cannot both be true--which means all religions cannot be equally true nor can agnosticism and atheism.


Atheism is neither a fixed position or a belief. It is a lack of conviction or belief in the existence of a God or gods based on a lack of evidence to support a justified conviction in their existence.....nobody argues over the existence of the World, the sun, stars, moon, etc.....it is about justification through evidence. Evidence is not something that this or that Holy Book happens to say is true.
