Their philosophy contains criticism of religion, law, and ethics. Though many sophists were apparently as religious as their contemporaries, some held atheistic or agnostic views (for example, Protagoras and Diagoras of Melos).I also criticize religion, law and ethics and also morality. I am atheist.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativism
Relativism is sometimes (though not always) interpreted as saying that all points of view are equally validi think it would depend on what the point of view was about, e.g. you dont value a car mechanic's point of view on a specific surgical procedure as much as you would a surgeon's.
Relativism is the concept that points of view have no absolute truth or validity, having only relative, subjective value according to differences in perception and considerationif this were taken to mean that there is no such thing as truth or fact, then i would disagree. if it is restricted to views about non-testable, non-verifiable, non-scientific claims and personal preference (e.g. the "best" music artist) then i could agree with it.
