How does agnostic mean you're afraid to be an atheist?
Atheists are confident in the fact that there isn't a superior deity who controls the world. Agnostics don't believe in any religion specifically, but they don't deny the possibility that there may be some sort of figure above us. it just may not be Jesus/Allah/whatever in their eyes

Again... that is incorrect. An Atheist has a lack of belief in God. It does not believe anything. It's by definition the lack of belief.
Atheism and agnosticism are the same thing in this case. Agnostic is a term i imagine was thrown around to avoid persecution.
I notice the other poster explained it more clearly. Apologies for the doubling down.
