While I think the father (or the people who will raise the child even if they are not the father) and the mother's health-care professional may offer their opinion, the ...

So would you be happier is we called it agnostic and non-agnostic?

You're confusing Gnosticism (the religion) and gnosticism (the ideology/position on truth). Kind of like the difference between Classical music (stuff from 1720s-1830s) and classical music (anything t
