102. I think your analysis of the English language is not up to scratch on this occasion

Agnostics do have an opinion on on whether a god or universal spirit exists. Some have very strong opinions on the subject. The mere act of identifying as an agnostic means you may have an opinion on the subject. Qualifying this with an agnostic who has an opinion narrows that down. No definition of agnosticism I have ever seen suggests all agnostics "do(es) not have an opinion on whether a god or universal spirit exists". Indifference to the existence of god is apatheism or to a lesser degree pragmatic agnosticism which is a subset of agnosticism. I am well aware of what all these things mean. I asked you specifically how would an agnostic who had an opinion would answer this question. I did not ask you how an apatheist would answer this question. I am being precise with the English language. Damn precise even. So being disengenuous or subliteracy explains your logical disconnect. Neither of which is my problem.

Furthermore you never even attempted to deal with the question that if your version of literacy were correct, why does the data set suggest that positive atheists outnumber agnostics by 7 to 1 when other data sets suggest the reverse relationship?

Just sayin'
