50. Agnostics are probably the closest thing to a non believer that there is.
Religious people say "I KNOW there IS a God"
Atheists say "I KNOW there ISN'T a God"
Agnostics say "I don't know whether there's a God or not." and some of them would add "and I really don't care one way or the other"
All three are belief systems, but the first two are seen as "factual" by those who fall into that category, despite the fact that the existence of God cannot be proven OR disproven. Anything beyond that is faith.
