In recent years, the phenomena of atheism and agnosticism have become more common in the Western culture. While there has been a rise in the phenomenon itself, there has also been an outgrow in the misunderstandings of what these terms really mean. In this specific sense, I believe Graham Oppy has done a splendid job in Atheism and Agnosticism suggesting clearly where to draw the line between atheism, agnosticism and theism. Thus, he states the meaning of all three positions very clearly.
