Atheism and Agnosticism are closely related, but they are not totally the same. Atheism is the belief that no deities exist. Atheism does not believe in the existence of God, and the follower of such belief is always ready to prove the non-existence of God.

Atheism and Agnosticism are two ways that one can define themselves in regards to their beliefs. Atheism is one who doesn't believe in God or any divine being.
