i agree, jen. the difference is really splitting hairs a bit. it's almost a semantic argument. who cares, really. on the other hand, it is important to understand that we all have a limit to what we can "know" about anything.
i "know" (as much as i can know anything) that no gods exist. but no one can be 100% sure. for all you know, our entire existence is an experiment carried out by a super-intelligent alien race (aka "god") and you are simply executing your part of the program. in this universe, "absolute knowledge" does not exist. there are only probabilities.
i am a little less agnostic over my lack of belief in bigfoots. they might exist but i'm nearly 100% sure they don't. so i'm agnostic with respect to bigfoots even thought i definitely don't believe in them and think people who do are kooks.
so even though I agree with everything you state, from a "absolute knowledge" standpoint, you are an agnostic atheist. .... or just plain atheist.
