Atheism is the belief that god does not exist. Agnosticism means "I don't know". They are not exclusive terms, but ARE often mis-used.

Agnostic atheist : "I'm not certain, but I have no reason to believe in any god" (this is me). Gnostic atheist : "I'm certain god does not exist." Agnostic theist : "I'm not certain, but I believe that god exists." Gnostic theist : "I'm sure God exists."
