Agnostic Atheism
Atheism and agnosticism are about two different things.
​
Atheism is a statement of belief; agnosticism is a statement of knowledge.
​
That means you can be both: agnostic and atheist. You can also be gnostic and atheist; gnostic and theist; or agnostic and theist.
​
In fact, I'd say there is no way to create a true statement of thought regarding the existence of gods without including both what one believes and what one thinks they know.
