I take no issue with believers. I’ve made that statement before on this very forum. Myself, I’m agnostic.
As far as recognizing that it is very important to others, absolutely, and I really have no problem with that. To quote and recast a phrase from a no longer often seen freeper - I’m a non-evangelical agnostic.
you don't sound like, say, a hard-core agnostic, then?
(Defined as someone who believes that "no one" can know if there's a god...vs. one who applies this belief in personal terms only, and doesn't project it beyond themself)
