Default Atheist or Agnostic?

Agnostics sometimes say that Atheists are just as bad as Theists in their conviction, whereas Atheists accuse Agnostics of being "wishy-washy". I've noticed that there are many people on this board who are not religious - which flavour of "non-religious" are you?

I'd call myself an agnostic. I grew up without going to church, without religion class, in a community full of artists and hippies. I would say that I had about as religious-neutral an upbringing as possible, and as such I have not really formed any opinions about God, because I have not seen any evidence supporting either viewpoint.

On the other hand, the strongest Atheists I know are those who were forced to go to church when they were younger, and are now firmly convinced that there is no God.
