notice how they claim to KNOW and not BELIEVE

For me it is on a case by case situation. It has nothing to do with their beliefs but more with their individual character. I have noticed that a lot of atheists are more informed about religion then Christians because they have usually become atheist out of thinking about it logically.
The answer above me is wrong. Agnostic does not mean you are an atheist. You can be an agnostic theist. It means you don't know but think. If you believe that god is unknowable then you are agnostic. It is as simple as that.

Agnostics are atheists. They have to be by definition. The word was coined by Thomas Huxley in the late 19th century. (Huxley was a champion of Darwin's ideas and is often referred to as 'Darwin's Bulldog').
An atheist does not believe in gods. It is not that an atheist believes there are no gods, that requires a belief. Atheists do not believe.
Agnostics do not believe in gods either and are therefore atheists. They qualify their atheism by saying it is impossible to know whether gods exist or not. "Agnostic" means "not knowing" but they still have no belief in gods. If you believe in gods then you are some sort of theist.

I think you should take a step back, and maybe spend some time thinking about what 'atheism' means, instead of trying so hard to make a point.
Cheers.
