There is  nothing "courageous" about Batchelor's agnosticism. He himself  
characterizes it explicitly as an ethnocentric retreat from the  
rebellious and defiant idealism of his youth - as an admission that, for  
him, it is impossible (and "unsustainable" as he puts it) to embrace  
anything so fundamentally foreign to "our own culture" as Buddhism.

And then he goes on to give canonical reasons for taking an agnostic  
approach to Buddhism.
