This Freefall strip pretty much sums up my viewpoint on the subject:  It is unreasonable to stipulate that any one religious faith is true unless you're willing to grant that ALL of them are simultaneously true.

I've repeatedly made the comment that I'm a meta-agnostic.

The deist of whatever flavor says "I am certain beyond any doubt that there is a god or gods."
The atheist says "I am certain beyond any doubt that there is no god."
The agnostic says "It isn't possible to know whether or not there is a god."
I say, because we don't know the nature of any hypothetical god, we don't know what would constitute proof of the existence or non-existence of gods, therefore it isn't possible to know even whether it is possible to know whether there is a god. Beyond that, much as Arthur Clarke stated that any sufficiently advanced techology is indistinguishable from magic, I propose that any sufficiently enlightened and evolved intelligence is indistinguishable from godhood.

I have what I consider sufficient proof that there is something out there that fits the definition of god. I do not expect my proof to be sufficient for anyone else.
