The multiverse hypothesis is another good example. Whether or not we can know anything about multiple universes is independent of whether you think there likely are or are not multiple universe. One speaks to epistemology and knowledge, agnosticism, and the other speaks to ontology and belief, atheism. They are separate questions.
While the above is all true, I suspect that bringing such things into the mix (multiverses, epistemology, ontology) is only going to serve to confuse the issue.
