Atheist, Agnostic, Secular

Atheist, Agnostic, Secular

Many people believe atheist means someone who does not believe in God or belives there's no God. Prefix a means without in Greek. But actually I think atheist means a theist or one theist. They still think whether God exists or not, then they will believe in God or not.
There's still one God in their mind, so atheist means one theist.
Those who never thought about God are called secular people. They lack the notion of God in their mind at all. They are secular, but not an atheist.
Many people believe the agnostic means someone that think human can't know whether there's God or not within a range of limited human wisdom. This is also a kind of theism. They know human wisdom is limited. They can comprehend if there's unlimited being, suggesting it might be God.
Please put the word secular in religion section in our profile. I can't choose any words.
