In "The God Delusion"
Even Richard Dawkins describes himself as an agnostic. Just one for whom the evidence of a deity's existence is so thin as to be unconvincing.

He's said himself that if anyone can come up with any (testable, verifiable, falsifiable) evidence for a deity, he'd happily become a believer. He's not Satan, he's Doubting Thomas (only without the conveniently-wounded Messiah to poke around in).

I'd say most "atheists" were in this camp, in truth.

I actually like Mr (Dr?) Dawkins. He encourages people to question their belief. It's those who take things he said and wave them around who annoy me. I see striking echoes of a muslim who's not actually read the Quaran using it to justify whatever he's doing. It's also really ironic that the Quaran actually promotes questioning of every aspect of faith...

He himself said, on the Bill Maher show, that he would rank a 6.9 on a scale of 1-7 for atheism. He said that no one should rightly be a 7, and yes, I'd say almost all the atheists I know (including myself) fall into this category.
