Could there be a spirituality suited to agnostics? Darwin’s great ally Thomas Henry Huxley gave the following classic definition of agnosticism: “Agnosticism simply means that a man shall not say he knows or believes that for which he has no grounds for professing to believe.” Agnosticism was also Darwin’s own preferred position. There is no list of settled agnostic beliefs. In fact there are several types of agnosticism: • You might be uncertain whether the God of your culture’s main religion, or any god, exists. • You might be a principled agnostic who believes that the question of God’s existence is unanswerable, that proof either way is impossible. • You might be a practical agnostic and believe that the question of God’s existence is irrelevant to the living of life. Whichever kind of agnostic you are, it’s very likely that you have some skepticism about the central claims of traditional religions. And it’s also very likely that you are a person who does not accept grandiose claims without solid proof. Does that mean that as an agnostic you can’t have any kind of spirituality, that you can’t satisfy those complex needs that religions fulfill - community support, remedies for grief and anxiety, a sense of one’s place in Nature and the wider Universe? Could there be an agnostic religion, or a religion suited for agnostics? How would you feel about a spirituality that does not ask you believe in anything other than the natural world that your senses reveal to you every day? A spirituality at whose core lie deep feeling of belonging in Nature, of reverence for the Universe, of concern for planetary and human survival? Pantheism means, basically, reverence for Nature and the wider Universe. Pantheists move beyond the unanswerable questions and deal with what exists – the Universe that our senses and sciences reveal to us. We don’t claim to know the ultimate origin of the Universe or Multiverse – for us, it just is. And it is so immense, powerful, beautiful and mysterious that we feel reverence, or if you prefer, wonder and awe, for it. There’s no requirement to prove or disprove the existence of some invisible being. There’s only the question: Does it seem right to you to feel reverence for the universe, love and concern for nature and human rights? Maybe Pantheism answers the questions you need answering?
