Thank you
Sure, I'm certainly not going to tell anyone else what they should call themselves.
Definitions vary a lot, but under the ones I use, being agnostic and being atheist/theist are two different questions. The first is knowledge, the second is belief. So I would categorise people in 4 ways, agnostic/gnostic atheist/theist. But I fully appreciate some people don't like to include the atheist part, because it sadly has indeed become stigmatised. And it's also popular to hold "agnostic" as a position on its own, just using a different definition. As long as we all understand each other, everything is fine
