Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I just hope Jodie doesn't run into some agnostics who will attempt to drown her with stuff like, "you have to prove a negative, you have to prove that there is no God or you are dogmatic" and "gods can't be proven or disproven so you have to be an agnostic" and "God might be everywhere and nowhere so science doesn't apply, so play safe and be agnostic" and "don't be an arrogant atheist but adopt the "nuanced" position of an agnostic.." and stuff like that. Hope she doesn't.

Well if she did that would be based on their lack of understanding of atheism, mistaking it for the knowledge claim that agnostics decline to make. Atheism is lack of belief in or against a god, just as agnosticism is lack of knowledge that god does or doesn't exist. They influence each other, but vary independently.
My guess is that Foster is smart enough to know this.
