That comes in with the "-ism" or the "-ist." A systematic agnostic position might involve believing that some things cannot ever be known. For example, it occurs to me that people cannot have the capacity ever to know whether there is a Universe-creating God. Not only do I not know, but I take the position that, for us, such a thing is intrinsically unknowable.
But this, while not an atheist position, is certainly anti-religious. I can say for sure that the Biblical God doesn't exist, because I know enough about logic to say that the Biblical god is incoherent, and that I believe an incoherent idea cannot manifest in reality.
