What made you lose faith?
For me it was Jyotisha. My mind could reason out existence of every other bullshit superstition but not astrology. Doesn't help unlike palmistry or other ooga booga gobar tradition, jyotisha is a core part of hinduism and i couldn't dismiss it as some ooga booga regional superstition.

There is no such thing as 'just agnostic'. Being agnostic simply means you make no claims of knowledge. Does not tell us anything about belief or lack thereof. One is either a theist or an atheist.

Also illiterate if you don't know what "and" means means.

> you make no claims of knowledge
Correct, I don't. There are things I know that I don't know, and I have problem admitting it then predicting my lack of belief is a fact.

jyotisha is much much wider concept. just like what we call science now was called philosophy, what we call astronomy was ALSO part of jyotisha. so was panchang. so was palmistry. so was intuitive ways (siddhis) to find undergeound water and how to obtain them.
the point is it has basis on vedas and it is purified knowledge. it's not for everybody nor is everybody able to appreciate and truly understand it.
there are some temples where sunlight reaches garbha griha only on solstice days. that didn't happen without the knowledge of earth being round + panchang + knowing earth revolves around sun and the whole astronomy. similarly there is one temple where you see inverted image of other side of wall via a pin hole every day. at konark temple you can tell the correct day and time of any day with minute level accuracy. this was intentionally built.
basically jyotisha in the past was used to refer to jyotisha today + a bit of psychology and philosophy + science + engineering + engineering of life. this is my personal opinion. ymmv.

Either you lack belief or you don't. There is no third ground, anon. I dont think we should fixate too much on semantics but you are an agnostic atheist.

At least ayurveda has some merit. Its a folk medicine, a proto science based on trial and error. Astrology is pure bullshit that started as observing skies for predicting seasonal changes and perfect time for sowing and harvesting but now it has evolved into pure pseudoscientific bs

so fkin real i mean ayurveda would have caught up to the scientific science if bamanrandis didn't give the surgery stuff to chamarandis and nais
