No, the first person misunderstood what the article said…
A new study from Pew Research finds that the religiously unaffiliated – a group comprised of atheists, agnostic and those who say their religion is “nothing in particular” – is now the largest cohort in the U.S. They’re more prevalent among American adults than Catholics (23%) or evangelical Protestants (24%).
I just didn’t explain every way they were wrong in my reply.
And when someone replies to me going off what that comment said and not what the article said, I had no idea what they were talking about.
“Nothing in particular” doesn’t mean they believe in a higher power, it could just be “don’t be a dick to others” without some higher power telling them that.

You thought they misunderstood what agnosticism was. You were wrong. It’s okay.
I thought that’s what they were talking about about.
Instead they were talking about something not in the article that the first commenter made up.
It’s fine, but that’s what it is.
