What term means a person who lacks knowledge of or certainty about a divine being?

• A. Allies
• B. Agnostic
• C. Ambivalent sexism
• D. Amerasian

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how we name a stance of uncertainty about the existence of a divine being. An agnostic is someone who holds that knowledge about whether a god exists is unknown or unknowable, and therefore they don’t commit to belief or disbelief. This distinction helps differentiate belief-based positions (like theism or atheism) from epistemic positions about what can be known regarding the divine. In everyday discussions, someone might describe themselves as agnostic to signal openness to evidence or different viewpoints without taking a firm stance on the existence of a deity. The other terms don’t fit: allies are supporters of a group, ambivalent sexism refers to mixed attitudes about gender roles, and Amerasian describes someone of mixed American and Asian heritage.
