Agnosticism should not be listed under "religion" option in Debate.org user profile

Thanks for the reply Con. This round I will rebut Cons arguments. First lets see in your OPENING what I find problematic. I agree with all you wrote except the sentence before last sentence. Actually those 3764 users do not know what agnosticism means. If they did, they would never pick it up since it tells us nothing about their religious beliefs. I can be agnostic "any of the other options on the list". I can basically be agnostic "any of the circa 10 000 religions known so far in human history". So that renders agnosticism being totally arbitrary in context of religious belief.PLACING Here Con made a case that one being an agnostic is telling us something about one`s opinion of God`s existence. To the extent that is true but it tells us nothing about whether someone still believes is God which should be much more important. Also it tells us nothing about their religious practices. If I read Christian I suddenly know so much about this person. I know he believes in prayer, in miracles, in creator and so many other things. This is why it is so helpful to have religion label under information panel. Agnosticism tells me nothing. It is a position on one specific claim. It is like if under occupation it says "self employed". Ok, but that is not the occupation. You can be self employed anything. Being self employed tells us something about nature of your occupation but in itself it tells us less about someone's occupation then if It were not the option. Which is more helpful : being self employed or being a teacher. What tells me more about someone. The misconception that agnosticism is a religion is popular I agree but I argue that we should not further support any misconceptions. This whole site is about expanding our horizons, to learn to be accurate, to learn the value and power of words and arguing. Having agnosticism under religion is to me undermining the very integrity what this site is supposed to be. FUNCTIONCon wrote:"As said previously, the religion heading helps other users get to know you on this website.This is also the function of the information panel. The agnostic option entirely helps this."Quite the contrary. It tells us far less then actually putting your religion would tell. Its half the information (far less important half) and the other half which is far more important cannot be set because of this. Con wrote:"Since 3764[1] users have currently listed their opinion of god as agnostic, the removal of an opinion of god, hurts the ability to know many others, and therefore, the function of the information panel."That's like saying that since *** number of people put "self employed" under their occupation removing that option hurts the ability to know them better. It is absurd and wrong. Only thing agnosticism under religion label on this site tells me is that those people don't understand what agnosticism means. CLOSING STATEMENT.I agree that the function of the information panel is to help get to know others. That's why I'm not arguing against information panel. In fact I'm so much for the information panel that I created this debate in order to try to make it more accurate and better. Why ? Because "The agnostic option in the religion heading, only helps this function" to be less viable by accepting and supporting the misconception of agnosticism on the site which very purpose is to help us fight misconceptions. This is in my opinion shameful and ironic and needs to be brought to the moderators of this site to change it . Since how else can we expect people to look into agnosticism more to see why it is not listed under religion of their favorite site. Maybe because it is not a religion. Since I agree that agnosticism is still some information on God, I think it would be best if one is able to set Agnostic/Gnostic and then put Atheist/Theist . If theist was put then the list of religions would open to be set. This is the right way to do IMO.
