Oh you got it wrong. You are the one projecting religious people as the people of the world with the power to make up and change the meaning of words. Religious people are only a sub-set of people. You don't have that power and the atempts just end up as humor to the rest of the civilised world.

I do care about linguistics. But what you are talking about is, as usual for religion, to give special treatment for a few. Wich the rest of us reply with a clear: NO! You are not special cause you are grown people who believe some fairy tail book and you will not receive special treatment. 

You're the one pushing a wrong interpretation of the word agnosticism. So far, I've only been defending my case through reason and philosophical arguments. You're not made of teflon, you don't get to just assume you're right and ignore my arguments because you feel like it.

You don't get extra powers over language because you're an atheist. Special treatment works both ways. And I'd watch your words or I'm going to stuff the whole Silmarillion where the sun doth not shineth if you'd like a fairy tale book.

Oh no i'm not. The word is fine as it is, and you don't get to project yourself as the people of the world. Only you and your sub-set of people use it wrong. You are the ones that need to use it right. It's not the word that should change for the rest of us. That is arrogance of the highest order.

Besides, your definition of Atheism is completely illogical, so even if you managed to change the meaning of Agnosticism, you will never manage to change the meaning of Atheism to mean the "belief of no god". They will therefore always mean the same position. It's sad but there is no anti position to belief. We are very sorry for the incovenience that poses.
