Agnostic critique of atheism
Referring to the opinion of a supporter of atheism Julian Baggini:

we can paraphrase the above quote (with an agnostic approach, similar to the view Bertrand Russell described in the brochure "What is an agnostic?" ):

Belief should be understood here as giving a high probability of the truth of a statement in conditions of insufficient knowledge. Atheism results from belief, not from the application of the scientific method. Agnostics, such as the American astronomer Carl Sagan, have criticized atheism for being an unscientific view.
