agnosticism

Noun B2 – Upper-Intermediate

The view that it is impossible to know for certain whether a god or gods exist.

"After years of debate, she settled into a comfortable agnosticism rather than choosing a firm answer."

'Agnosticism' is often confused with atheism: agnosticism is about what can be known, while atheism is a positive disbelief in gods.
