Niko Alm's driving licence features a photo of him wearing a pasta strainer. Photo: Niko Alm An Austrian has won the right to be photographed wearing a pasta strainer for his driving licence on the grounds of religious freedom. Niko Alm announced the decision on his blog, saying that, after three years of struggle, a psychologist had passed him fit to drive and so he could wear the kitchen implement for the picture ID. Mr Alm, who calls himself a "pastafarian", said he belonged to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which lampooned religion. Atheism vs. Agnosticism: What's the Difference? Are they Alternatives to Each Other? Question:If atheism is just disbelief in gods, then what is the difference between that and agnosticism?
Response: Many people who adopt the label of agnostic reject the label of atheist — there is a common perception that agnosticism is a more “reasonable” position while atheism is more “dogmatic,” ultimately indistinguishable from theism except in the details. This is not a valid position to adopt because it misrepresents or misunderstands everything involved: atheism, theism, agnosticism, and the nature of belief itself. It also happens to reinforce popular prejudice against atheists. Atheist-cartoon-1-550x708.jpg (JPEG Image, 550x708 pixels)
