Yes, I would like to emphasize LastPoet's point. Most of us who identify as atheists don't mean that we have a 100% logically absolute forever fixed belief that deities don't exist. This is just not how we use the word. We simply, given our current knowledge, don't believe that deities exist. You could as well be an atheist in our sense - what is it for you?
I find the agnostic shtick "I can't prove either way, so I'm in the middle of the road and refuse to say anything on the topic" extremely annoying, because it is dishonest. These agnostics don't operate like that for any other claim, but this one is singled out and treated special to not offend. Do they also play the same silly game for Frooofroo the invisible unicorn? No they don't!
p.s. You misspelled atheism in the OP, that means you lose 5 points.
