An atheist believes there is no God. An agnostic is someone whose mind isn't made up.

I don't believe in God, but my mind is open on the matter, so I'm both an atheist AND an agnostic.

I agree. The term agnostic actually has several meanings, anyways. I usually claim the first.

ag·nos·tic
- a. One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
- b. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
