2. Let’s begin by distinguishing between
Atheism & Agnosticism

3. Agnostic
Agnostic beliefs traditionally are philosophical in regards to believing that there may be a "higher power" or God.
However, the lack of proof or evidence of the afterlife or existence of spiritual beings, leaves agnostics open to question the reality of religion and remain open on their opinion.
Agnostics do not denounce religion or spiritual powers but do not wholly accept without proof.
It is a question of KNOWLEDGE.

4. Atheist
Atheists, however, denounce the idea of higher spiritual powers and their religious base.
They do not believe in any existence of a Divine or deities (gods).
Theirs is a question of BELIEF.

10. Let’s look at both sides of the spectrum…
We’ll be looking at Sigmund Freud and C. S. Lewis as examples of both extremes:
Secular vs. Spiritual
and what their views are regarding:
The existence of a divine
The meaning of Life & Death
The nature of human beings
Keep in mind what reference their worldview might have come from.
Would their worldview be altered if their frame of reference were different?
Or is it something innate?
