Im not taking a side on this little arguement, but Jacob posted an arguement against atheists, and the two examples of counter-evidence given were about agnostics. Did I miss something?

Those of us who do take either side generally count agnostics as atheists. Atheists do so due to a Russell's Teapot, empiricist-type attitude (and the political advantages of counting the more polite members of a tribe).
