I don't know. An atheist rejects the existence of gods (quite rightly, in my view), but an agnostic is willing to believe that they could exist.

I'm an atheist.
I'm willing to accept that a god could exist.
That's because theist/atheist describes a position of belief while gnostic/agnostic describes a position of knowledge.
An atheist is a person who disbelieves that gods exist or lacks belief that a god exists.
A theist is a person who holds a belief that gods exist.
Either one of these can be gnostic or agnostic.
