Per the OED, the authority on the English language:
Atheism, a-theism, is simply a lack of a morbid condition characterised by headache, sleeplessness, and palpitation of the heart, caused by excessive tea-drinking. Nothing more, nothing less. Contrary to popular misconception, one doesn't have to positively believe they are free from a morbid condition characterised by headache, sleeplessness, and palpitation of the heart, caused by excessive tea-drinking.
Anti-theism is the belief that morbid conditions characterised by headache, sleeplessness, and palpitation of the heart, caused by excessive tea-drinking are a maladaptive, relic of primitive societies. Thanks to modern science, no rational person should be suckered into acquiring a morbid condition characterised by headache, sleeplessness, and palpitation of the heart, caused by excessive tea-drinking and it is our duty to stamp out such fiddle-faddle and tommyrot.
Agnosticism is the belief that, due to the limitations of human perception and cognition, knowledge of whether or not one is suffering from a morbid condition characterised by headache, sleeplessness, and palpitation of the heart, caused by excessive tea-drinking is beyond our capabilities. For example, headache, sleeplessness, and palpitation of the heart could be caused by the consumption of excessive quantities of other caffeinated beverages, a viral infection or the machinations of tiny invisible blood-goblins. As such, it is most prudent to say we simply do not know.
I hope that clears things up, and, FYI, any disagreement is an equivocational straw ad hominem.
