An Agnostic Buddhist


An agnostic Buddhist would not regard the dharma as a source of "answers" to questions of where we came from, where we are are going, what happens after death. He would seek such knowledge in the appropriate domains: astrophysics, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, etc. An agnostic Buddhist is not a "believer" with claims to revealed information about supernatural or paranormal phenomena, and in this sense is not "religious."
