THE NEW AGNOSTICISM.

The article focuses on author Graham Greene's complex relationship with faith, particularly his self-described status as a "Catholic agnostic" and his encounter with Padre Pio, a stigmatist priest, leading to a prolonged period of spiritual conflict. It discusses the emergence of a "New Agnosticism," distinct from the New Atheism, citing examples of public figures and intellectuals who identify as agnostic while engaging with religious and cultural aspects without outright rejection.
