Heya. Welcome aboard!
By the definitions commonly used in the atheist community, you are certainly an agnostic atheist. A weak atheist (no active belief in a god) rather than a strong atheist (an active belief that there is no god). A subtle difference! It's like the difference between a juror who is undecided and a juror that rules not guilty. They both don't hold the "guilty" belief at that point. I have loads more about this on my website if you're interested.
Whether you like to label yourself as such is your decision though. I'm not here to tell you what to call yourself
Just agnostic often does sound more palatable to those people who may freak out at the a-word.
