And Merriam webster says exactly what I'm saying. Not to mention if you're knowledgeable on the etymology of the words then it's pretty clear what agnostic and gnostic mean.

Here, since apparently only Merriam webster counts to you: https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/what-do-secular-atheist-agnostic-mean

Agnostic comes from the Greek word meaning "unknown" or "unknowable" (a-, "not" or "without," and gnstos, meaning "known").

Idk how you could possibly be ignorant enough to think that agnostic atheists (or agnostic theists) don't exist. This is common knowledge to anyone who knows wtf they're talking about.

Did you even read the link you posted? It's like you just saw a sentence that supported you and ignored everything else. The very next sentence proves you wrong and supports me. I can't even fathom being so delusional.

Though atheist and agnostic are words that are often used together or cited in similar contexts, they do not mean the same thing. Agnostic comes from the Greek word meaning "unknown" or "unknowable" (a-, "not" or "without," and gnstos, meaning "known"). It means "a person who does not have a definite belief about whether God exists or not" or, more broadly, "a person who does not believe or is unsure of something."

Atheist also comes from Greek, from a- meaning "not" or "without" and theos, meaning "god." In English is simply means "a person who believes that God does not exist."

Agnostic = "a person who does not have a definite belief about whether God exists or not"
Atheist = "a person who believes that God does not exist."
