It's hard to believe that all the people on this list would identify themselves as agnostics, rather than atheists (though it's possible that Pynchon might be an agnostic - there's no way of knowing, which, I guess, makes us all Pynchon-agnostics).  Lots of people I know say things such as "I'm not religious, but I still think there's some sort of intelligence out there."  I don't think they mean it in the Arthur C. Clarke sense, but more in a spiritual-lite fear of there not being some sort of overriding moral force guiding all that we do.  Personally, I'm an atheist:  there's no god, but if you want to be religious, shut the fuck up about it!
