All atheists and theists alike are agnostic (don't know) so in the interest of parsimony we just cancel out the extraneous terms on both sides of the equation.
Really the term indicates someone who knows they don't know, IMHO. Not everyone does. But I agree going into whether someone is gnostic or agnostic in their position is getting into the weeds and needn't be brought up unless it's the topic.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
