This is all really useful and interesting...

The people maintaining the website atheists.org seem to be positive (strong) atheists, which say that god(s) do not exist. They are Gnostic Atheists for this, they claim to have the knowledge behind their athiesm (that god does not exist)... does that make sense? This is how I've always taken it, and is why I go with Agnostic Atheism...

On the other side of the coin, there are some theists I've met and labeled 'agnostic theists' because they believe in a god but claim that he may or may not exist... and some 'gnostic theists' that say the know that he is there (by illogical means, just as gnostic atheism)

I wouldn't think that we are talking about knowing that we are atheists/theists or not...
I used to think of just agnosticism as being undecided of any religion... while any type of atheism being decided to have no religion.
