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

And you're absolutely right.
