Boghossian redefines agnosticism so that it is absorbed into atheism, eliminating it as an independent category

There’s a literal “Manual for Creating ATHEISTS” 00:14:23 – 00:15:55

Mike covers Boghossian's third major redefinition

Boghossian defines agnostic as someone who thinks there's not enough evidence to warrant belief in God but remains unsure because it's logically possible. Mike argues the actual meaning of agnostic is simply "I don't take a position; I don't know." By tying agnosticism to the same evidence framing as his definition of atheism, Boghossian effectively absorbs agnostics into the atheist camp.
