My understanding is that a gnostic is someone who KNOWS God exists. Of course, none KNOWS God exists, hence, there are no gnostics in existence, only agnostics; ones who don't KNOW God exists. Everyone is an agnostic. It's a redundant, meaningless term. You're either an agnostic theist or an agnostic atheist.
A theist is someone who BELIEVES God exists. Obviously, an atheist is someone who doesn't. There is no gray area here. There is no in-between. Either you believe in God or you don't. If you have any doubt, you aren't a theist. You're an atheist. Get over it. If you say that you just ignore the question, or don't think it's relevant, or you're in between, or you don't think you have enough information to make a decision, guess what, you're still an atheist.
