Depends how you define "knowledge". I define it in an absolute sense, since otherwise there is no difference between knowledge and belief. Under this definition, gnostic atheism is as illogical as gnostic theism.

Knowing something and believing you know something are different things. Everyone believes they know something. No fallible being can ever know they know something (that is my belief).
