Cool thread. Even on one of the better politics / other boards I frequent (DVDtalk) this kind of thread gets out of hand pretty quick.
I consider myself agnostic, barely, because to me some things we will never know - we can't possibly know. I don't object to religion to fill the space of unknowable answers. But I'm a man of science and I look to it for man's way to find these answers - not a mystical holy book. Science and rationality first, religions second if you must have it, to fill in the gaps.
I consider there is a tiny chance that the Christians are right - or the Jews or the Muslims or the Buddhists - but I do consider some as slightly more ridiculous than others. My background is kind of liberal Mormon (RLDS or whatever they are called now) and I find there version of American continental history laughable. I just avoid the subject around my grandma and other religious people in my family though - I'm not a confrontational almost-atheist.
