You're misunderstanding those terms. Agnostic people are atheists. Atheist doesn't mean you claim to know there is no god.


Actually, you are the one who apparently doesn't understand the terms.

Agnostic is the standpoint of "I don't know if there is or is not a God. I cannot rule out either option."

Athiesm is literally "I believe there is no God." That's what the prefix A- means. Polytheism = belief that there are multiple gods. Monotheism = belief that there is a single god. Atheism = belief that there are no gods at all.

Pure, undeniable facts are not relevant when it comes to the terms. You don't need to "know" that there isn't a god to be atheist. You simply have to believe that there isn't. Just like you don't need to "know" that there is a god to be monotheist of any variety. You just need to believe that there is one and only one god.
