Agnostic - a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable.

So, by saying one is an agnostic atheist is nothing more than admitting that the existence of gods is unknown and unknowable. And that one also disbelieves in the existence of gods.

I understand that , i just see it as irrelevant addition . If you are an atheist then of coarse the existance of gods is unknown and unknowable .
