The reality is #Atheist-one who does not believe in the existence of God. #Agnostic-one who believe in the existence of God.

Atheist is sure that there is no God.

Theist is sure that there is God.

Agnostic is not sure about God's existence.

Agnostic:-A person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena.

Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. [1][2] In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities.

So I believe that Agnostic is correct answer.

Atheist means who denies the existence of God.

Agnostic means who not sure about god's existence, according to Agnostic god may be or not. So don't be confused about it.

I am not opposing this answer but option C is also correct.

Atheist means a person who does not beleive in God & His existance, so if in exam we will put tick on C which is correct will be count as wrong answer.

So please clear differntiat both of or put only one correct ans for ticking.
