Technically if you genuinely believe God is exactly 50% probable you are both an agnostic theist and an agnostic atheist (type 2).
It's possible to be a gnostic atheist (type 3) and therefore believe you know God doesn't exist but nevertheless still believe he could have existed in the past or may come into existence in the future, in which case you are not denying his impossibility. That would be a rather odd form of gnosticism atheism but nevertheless still a form of it.
