You could only be arguing from your personal experience elsewhere... certainly doesn’t apply here. I’m one of the few gnostic atheists this board has ever had.
... and I tend to cut to the chase, telling people that I’m an antitheist on account of how it’s more relevant to any of my positions on the broader subject. Also keeps them from wasting their time, or my time, trying to argue their silly gods into existence with me. Generally speaking, it gets through their skulls and all that’s left is a vague “ but what if you’re wrong”. What if indeed, it would be identical to having miscounted the jelly beans in a jar for me. No greater or lesser import.
So, wrong on both counts, I guess, better luck with the next set of unfortunates? Not only have these agnostics here told you that you were wrong about them, you didn’t think to ask an actual gnostic, either.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
