[[George H. Smith]], meskipun mengakui bahwa definisi sempit [[Ateisme|ateis]] adalah definisi yang umum digunakan untuk kata itu,<ref>George H. Smith, Atheism: The Case Against God, pg. 9</ref> dan mengakui bahwa definisi luas agnostik adalah definisi yang umum digunakan untuk kata itu,<ref>George H. Smith, Atheism: The Case Against God, pg. 12</ref> mengusulkan perluasan definisi ateis dan mempersempit definisi agnostik. Smith menolak agnostisisme sebagai alternatif ketiga dari [[teisme]] dan [[ateisme]] dan mengajukan istilah-istilah seperti ateisme agnostik (pandangan mereka yang tidak memiliki keyakinan akan keberadaan Tuhan apa pun, tetapi mengklaim bahwa keberadaan Tuhan tidak diketahui atau tidak dapat diketahui secara inheren) dan teisme agnostik (pandangan mereka yang percaya pada keberadaan Tuhan(-Tuhan), tetapi mengklaim bahwa keberadaan Tuhan tidak diketahui atau tidak dapat diketahui secara inheren).<ref name="Smith19792">{{cite book|last=Smith|first=George H|year=1979|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FI7ZAAAAMAAJ&q=agnostic+theist|title=Atheism: The Case Against God|isbn=978-0-87975-124-1|pages=10–11|quote=Properly considered, agnosticism is not a third alternative to theism and atheism because it is concerned with a different aspect of religious belief. Theism and atheism refer to the presence or absence of belief in a god; agnosticism refers to the impossibility of knowledge with regard to a god or supernatural being. The term ''agnostic'' does not, in itself, indicate whether or not one believes in a god. Agnosticism can be either theistic or atheistic.|author-link=George H.

I usually reply with a question like, "Well, are you a Republican or an American?" The two words serve different concepts and are not mutually exclusive. Agnosticism addresses knowledge; atheism addresses belief. The agnostic says, "I don't have a knowledge that God exists." The atheist says, "I don't have a belief that God exists." You can say both things at the same time. Some agnostics are atheistic and some are theistic.|author-link=Dan Barker}}</ref>
