Atheism and agnosticism are not mutually exclusive concepts. In fact,
they are rather independent concepts that deal with different questions.
A person *can* be an agnostic and an atheist at the same time.
Atheism deals with belief in a god.
Agnosticism deals with knowledge.
They don't even discuss the same subject matter.
