    Both. There is a difference. Because I agree with your views does not necessarily mean that I support them. I can support your views and not agree with them. For example, the Frenchman Voltaire said, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." He was saying that he supported your view (your right to say it) but did not agree with it.

    Please give your threads a more helpful title. "Views - support/agee with?" would have give us some idea what to expect.
