ATHEISM

NOT BELIEVING IN ANY GOD OR DIETY
The sign in the picture sums up atheist beliefs fairly well. While rather blunt, it clearly delivers the message that atheists do not believe in any god.

AGNOSTICISM

NOT HAVING A DEFINITE BELIF OF GOD'S EXISTENCE
A seesaw goes one way and another, and has become a metaphor for indecision. Agnostics aren't sure if any god exists or not, so they are stuck on the metaphorical seesaw.
