Ok guys, lets get our definitions right here.
Agnostic and Gnostic- a claim of knowledge, a claim of what you know
Atheist and theist- a claim of what you believe.
Many atheists are agnostic atheists, we don't believe in god, but we don't know and we have no way of ever knowing if god exists or not. There are also agnostic theists.
There are also gnostic atheists and theists, they claim to know what they believe to be true. Thats because we humans often believe things before we actually know them, we don't tend to wait on knowledge before we believe something.

'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
