Imagine if there was a citation required for every unsupported claim you made in your post.

Erase the parts that are unsupported. And give me what's left.

I don't actually know what you're talking about. Let's see here:

Again, agnosticism vs. gnosticism is about knowledge, whereas theism is about belief.

Agnosticism

Agnosticism is the belief that the truth values of certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, as well as other religious and metaphysical claims—are unknown.

---

Philosopher William L. Rowe states that in the strict sense, however, agnosticism is the view that humanity lacks the requisite knowledge or sufficient rational grounds to justify either belief: that there exists some deity, or that no deities exist.[2]

I cannot speak for whomever you were originally addressing, but I believe the terms you are looking for would be hard/positive atheism (belief god does not exist) and soft/negative atheism (lack of belief god exists). Agnostic/gnostic can be tacked onto either one.

Negative and positive atheism

Positive atheism (also called strong atheism and hard atheism) is the form of atheism that asserts that no deities exist.[1] Negative atheism (also called weak atheism and soft atheism) is any other type of atheism, wherein a person does not believe in the existence of any deities, but does not explicitly assert there to be none.[1][2][3]

I would still argue that the second definition is equally valid because the suffix a- means lacking/without, and so atheism could logically be denoted as merely lacking theism (though it can certainly also mean the opposite of theism).

If you still have problems, you will need to tell me what they are, rather than making an unsupported blanket refutation.

(And before you say that wikipedia doesn't count, you should know that those wiki pages cite their sources)
