You said atheism is not agnosticism, while many atheists would define themselves as agnostic atheist. By this sort of implication, of the meaning of terms, you’d fall into the bracket of an ignostic atheist, whether you like that label or not. Your personal feelings have nothing to do with it.

Non-sequitur ... so what ? They are two different concepts.
It appears you don't actually know what the terms mean.
Go re-read the definition of igtheism. Given that definition, "ignostic atheism" is an oxymoron.

A non-sequitur. So what ? If they say they are agnostic atheists, BOTH terms have specific meanings.
Ignostic atheism is an oxymoron ... read the definition of ignosticism.

You don't get to define anything for anyone else, and your opinion of the matter is irrelevant.
Atheism is not agnosticism and neither is it igtheism.
Calling everyone an atheist is as ignorant and childish as assuming a non-believer knows less about religion than believers. .

Ignostic atheism is an oxymoron.
Read the definitions
Atheism and agnosticism are separate concepts. If someone chooses to use them together, they still remain separate concepts.
Ignostic atheism is an oxymoron.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell ![Popcorn Popcorn](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/popcorn.gif)
