A hoping agnostic …

… Philosophers and their religious practices, part 1: Homilies for a hoping agnostic  The Philosophers' Cocoon. (Hat tip, Rus Bowden.)

I personally think the only epistemically defensible position is Agnosticism, not atheism. Related to this, I think it is unfortunate because, as a Hopeful Agnostic, I tend to think it’s precisely here—in the realm of uncertainty between Belief and Disbelief—where the really interesting questions are in philosophy of religion. 
I would say that the stronger epistemic position is theism. As mathematician John Lennox says,  "the mathematical intelligibility of nature is evidence for a rational spirit behind the universe." It seems more in accordance with things as we experience them to presume a Logos or Tao.
