Russell, am I an atheist or an agnostic? In 1947, he said: As a philosopher, if I were to speak for a purely philosophical audience, I would describe myself as an agnostic because I do not think there is any conclusive proof that anyone can prove that there is no God. On the other hand, if I want to make a correct impression on the average person in the street, I think I should say that I am an atheist, because when I say that I cannot prove that there is no god, I am also obliged to tell the fellow man that I cannot prove that the Homeric gods do not exist. According to him, the basic question of the philosophy of religion is not whether a being named God has the property of existence or not, but whether the definition of God has an example or not. Russell's famous analysis of "exists" considers the expression "God exists" to be meaningless and among the idiomatic speech fallacies.
