My conclusion to the question "Why am I an agnostic atheist?" ultimately leads to "I don't know really".
Here is why:
Why am I an agnostic atheist? Because I am without belief in God.
Why am I without belief in God? Because I am unconvinced.
Why am I unconvinced? Because nothing has convinced me that God exists.
Why has nothing convinced me that God exists? Because my own experience has not led to a convincing argument.
Why hasn't my experience led to a convincing argument? I don't know really.
So the question of "why don't I believe in God?" Ultimately leads to: I don't know. So, really, I don't know why I don't believe in God because I don't know why nothing has convinced me that God exists.
If I was a gnostic atheist on the other hand, I'd base my belief that God doesn't exist on some other belief and then maybe that belief on something else, and so on, until I'd get to an invalid and baseless belief, because, of course, I can't prove the negative that God doesn't exist. UNLESS he is a particular God who's definition contradictions himself.
