So if this is the case, which I know it to be. Then what is the difference between an atheist and an agnostic?
I was always under the impression that an agnostic is not opposed to the idea of a god or an afterlife, but has just not been convinced that anyone knows whether that is true or not.

Atheism/Theism is about what you believe - Gnosticism/Agnosticism is about what you KNOW. So most Atheists are Agnostic Atheists, not 100% sure but on the side of not believing, whereas an Gnostic Atheist says positively God Does Not Exist. Similar there can be Gnostic and Agnostic Theists. So when you say you're agnostic, all you're saying is you don't know, not where you're leaning.
