Agnostic neutralism is the philosophical view that encompasses belief, and agnosticism. The agnostic neutralist, also called neutral-agnostic, is one that holds a neutral attitude regarding belief in the existence of a god or deity(s). Agnostic neutralists are neutral because they do not hold the belief in the existence of a god or deity(s) as true or false, and agnostic because they do not claim to know that a deity exists or does not exist. The agnostic neutralist may be contrasted with the agnostic theist, who does believe that one or more deities exist but does not claim to have knowledge of such, while the agnostic neutralist may also be contrasted with the agnostic atheist, who does not believe that any deity exist but does not claim to have knowledge of such.
