Poll for Agnostics: which way do you lean?

From previous religion polls on OT, we know that there are many agnostics here and (based on stuff I've read) a lot of them seem offended when confused with athiests.

So I'm wondering: do you lean towards theism or atheism? After all, believing that its impossible to know whether there is a god doesn't mean you can't have an opinion on which which is more likely.
 
I lean towards the idea of a greater being, but wonder why, if this being is so all-powerful, would it WANT us to "worship" it, or play a part in our daily lives? By the same token, I wouldn't want an ant or worm to worship me, and the only part I want to play in their daily lives, is to kill them (ants) if they invade MY living space...
Religion always seemed to be, to be a tool to control the masses...and it's gotten way out of hand...

Religion, as of late is more than a tool to control masses. It's a huge money sucking enterprise, which harbors slicksters, who drive expensive cars, and don't pay their fair share of taxes.

Do I believe in God, or a higher being? Yes.

Do I think God meant for the church to be a business, or political affiliation? NO!

 
I don't buy the "big guy in the sky" thing. It's much more complicated than that. Whatever that makes me, you figure it out. If its a choice between "god" and "no god", I guess I vote neither.
 
theism = atheism

your poll is flawed, one does not have to 'lean' in either direction however the option for atheism will clearly win.
