Here's what I got:
Since the clues are question-marked, and the lateral-thinking tag is there, the words are
Monastic - like a monk -> monk-ey
Agnostic - Doesn't know if there's a god -> not monk-like
Stagnate - Cease (growing, for example)

The tiles should be placed like this
MONKEY?
An AGNOSTIC believes we may be related to monkeys.
NOT MONKEY?
A MONASTIC believes in Creationism.
CEASE
STAGNATE means to stop.

1$\begingroup$ It may be that many rot13(zbaxf) believe in both of those things and don't consider them incompatible. I like the other answer better. $\endgroup$ Jun 23, 2022 at 6:30

$\begingroup$ @BrianMcCutchon It may be. I wasn't positing my theological opinion, just trying to make sense of the puzzle. $\endgroup$– capJun 23, 2022 at 18:46
