Agnosticism is the view that the truth values of certain claims – especially metaphysical and religious claims such as whether or not God, the divine or the supernatural exist – are unknown and perhaps unknowable.[1][2][3] In the popular sense of the term, an "agnostic", according to the philosopher William L. Rowe, is someone who neither believes nor disbelieves in the existence of God, while a theist believes that God does exist and an atheist does not believe that God exists.[2] Agnosticism is a doctrine or set of tenets[4] rather than a religion as such.

Yeah it's Wikipedia but you can check anywhere and you'll find the same thing. Agnostics believe the answers are unknown and may never be figured out, both of you are stating as a fact he doesn't exist, that by definition is Atheistic and not Agnostic.
Look I'm not trying to be mean but you and Hattake should really learn the definitions of the belief systems before you decide to challenge them on validity.
They're are many types of Agnostics it's not just black and white. There are many shades of grey.

Agnosticism has more recently been subdivided into several categories. Variations include:
Agnostic atheism
The view of those who do not believe in the existence of any deity, but do not claim to know if a deity does or does not exist.[22][23][24]
Agnostic theism
The view of those who do not claim to know of the existence of any deity, but still believe in such an existence.[22]
Apathetic or pragmatic agnosticism
The view that there is no proof of either the existence or nonexistence of any deity, but since any deity that may exist appears unconcerned for the universe or the welfare of its inhabitants, the question is largely academic. Therefore, their existence has little to no impact on personal human affairs and should be of little theological interest.[25][26]
Strong agnosticism (also called "hard", "closed", "strict", or "permanent agnosticism")
The view that the question of the existence or nonexistence of a deity or deities, and the nature of ultimate reality is unknowable by reason of our natural inability to verify any experience with anything but another subjective experience. A strong agnostic would say, "I cannot know whether a deity exists or not, and neither can you."[27][28][29]
Weak agnosticism (also called "soft", "open", "empirical", or "temporal agnosticism")
The view that the existence or nonexistence of any deities is currently unknown but is not necessarily unknowable; therefore, one will withhold judgment until evidence, if any, becomes available. A weak agnostic would say, "I don't know whether any deities exist or not, but maybe one day, if there is evidence, we can find something out."[27][28][29]
