I've noticed it is so embarrassing in the USA to be considered an atheist that most self-identify as agnostics. If you actually query them as to their beliefs, it turns out most would probably be considered atheists anywhere else in the world.
In theory, theory and practice are the same thing. In practice they are very different.
I am a theist.
