Oh, I think you're confused a bit. Agnosticism denotes "Knowledge". If one proclaims to be agnostic with regards to gods, then they've said they have no knowledge of a God.
That being said, Atheism necessarily follows. They're two sides of the same coin (depending on whether or not you ask a Theist).
An Atheist or an A-theist is using the term to denote that they are NOT a Theist.
A Theist believe is at least one God. Atheism denotes a position toward belief.
Belief is a subset of knowledge. You with me?
If one is intellectually honest with regards to God, they will admit that they don't know anything about any Gods, if they don't know of any Gods, how can they possibly believe in one?
Hence they are an Agnostic Atheist. They don't know, therefore they couldn't possibly believe.
Those who claim to know, are pretending to know things they do not. Ask Socrates, he'll tell ya!
If God isn't real, then how do you explain the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs are still undefeated?
