CMV: Being "atheist" when you can be "agnostic" is close minded

I spend a lot of time thinking about what's out there and how we came to be. If I had one wish, it would be to know what happens when we die, but the fact of the matter is... we can't ever know for sure .

For that reason, I think it's very limiting to be an adamant atheist and simply believe in "science". It is very possible that atheists are right and that there is nothing after we die but it is also very possible that they are wrong!

In my opinion when I think about the Big Bang theory... that definitely feels like a miracle in itself. Cosmic energy influenced by some sort of higher power to even make this bang.

I am personally more of a believer of an afterlife rather than God but again....I don't think that makes me an atheist.

So to conclude: please offer me a perspective as to why being "atheist" is NOT close minded.

How is being 100% sure that there is no higher power not limiting?
