6. Actually agnosticism is a type of atheism, negative or weak.

11. I don't know about that "weak" part. It makes
Agnosticism seem kind of wussy whereas it is really an effort to be ever on the alert for creeping superstitions of all sorts. Agnostics are also big-hearted enough to admit they do not know EVERYTHING like everyone else apparently does.

4. There's no such word.
At least not according to Merriam Webster.

What would you like it to mean?

But I was only two at the time...and my gift for hearing requests from the future didn't come until I hit puberty.

9. Not sure what you mean, but...
"homophobia" literally would mean fear of humans, correct?

I seem to remember a professor bemoaning "homophobia" pertaining to fear of homosexuality.

Anyway. What's your point? :)

10. Should there not be a word for prejudice that is greater than
the prejudice for the following groups:

1, Blacks
2, Jews
3, Women
4, Homosexuals
