If we're going into details, then most agnostics are part of the atheist-umbrella.

Gnosticism refers to knowledge, Theism refers to belief.

Someone who says "it's unknowable if god exists" and doesn't actively belief (or withholds judgement) in a god is an agnostic atheist. Someone who says it's unknowable but beliefs anyway is an agnostic theist.

Most people who identify as agnostics are agnostic atheists, they do not actively belief in a god.

If you want to separate agnostics and atheists, then you reduce atheism to a small subset of gnostic atheism (it can be known if god exists and doesn't belief that god exists)
