Agnosticism and atheism are not mutually exclusive. To greatly simplify the difference, agnosticism is about knowledge whereas atheism is about opinion/belief/position.

"I don't think the keys are under the couch." = Atheist
"I'm not sure if the keys are under the couch." = Agnostic
"I don't think the keys are under the couch, but I'm not sure." = Agnostic atheist

That's how I see it.

Are you related to Warren Mitchell (Alf Garnett)?

He holds both British and Australian citizenship and describes himself in interviews as an atheist who sometimes believes in God :hmmm:

And you're absolutely right.
