No, not at all!
But the thing is, I am agnostic too. Most atheists are agnostic. Being just "agnostic" doesn't make any sense, because it doesn't address the question of belief. So in fact, we hold the same position. If you don't accept the claim there is a god, you're an atheist, even if you don't like to label yourself as such
There is no middle ground. Of course you can argue that you give words different meanings, but by my definitions, we hold the same position. By default, an atheist is an agnostic. It's only if they choose to make their own claim about knowledge that they become gnostic, which is probably what a lot of people think "atheist" means.
I have more on my website:
Atheism/theism
Agnostic/gnostic
Please say if anything is unclear, or you disagree! To the best of my knowledge, these are the accepted definitions in the bulk of the atheist community.
