# i've possibly misinterpreted your categories then
i voted definitely atheist because i don't believe in god the same way as i don't believe the queen is currently hiding under my bed with a goat - i mean it's possible, yes, but i see absolutely no reason to believe it's true.

this would probably be in your probably atheist category though.

# Dawkins made precisely the same sort of analogy
about there being a diamond the size of a refrigerator buried in his back yard.

# i think bertrand russell did it years ago

# Yeah.
Dawkins mentioned that in his book, as well.

# Yeah, it's sort of a flawed gauge without predefinition
I voted 'definitely atheist' too because I'm near completely convinced, but I'm a pretty open-minded person, I'd be a massive hypocrite to have a problem with how narrow-minded religion(/religious people) can be and still deny that there is still a possibility a god exists.
Having been forced to define it a little I realised that I defined myself a category lower, heh.

# plus
you've defined agnostics as people who literally sit on fences...

# Hahah, I'm going to edit that one
Simply because I'm such a spazz with the language today I need to redeem myself, even if only a little ;)
