If that label makes you happy, I don't have a problem with it. I know I'm not strictly an agnostic. I'm too opinionated.
If we really need a label for Cindy,
I'm actually an agnostic atheist. Quote:
Agnostic atheism, also called atheistic agnosticism, is a philosophical doctrine that encompasses both atheism and agnosticism. An agnostic atheist is both atheistic, in that he does not believe any deities exist, and agnostic, in that he does not claim to know that they don't. Agnostic atheism contrasts with agnostic theism, the position of believing in one or more deities based on faith and not claiming to know that they exist.
Agnostic atheism should not be confused with weak atheism, which makes no reference to knowledge. It is possible for an agnostic atheist to subscribe to either strong or weak atheism, independently of his or her agnosticism.
Individuals identifying as agnostic atheists may justify their position by reference to epistemology, theory of justification or Occam's razor.
