I agree with you that the term "agnostic atheist" is silly and half-assed.

Both atheism and theism (the belief in god) are strictly gnostic arguments - you make them under the logical assumption, the axiom, that it is possible to know the fundamental truth of the universe.  Without this assumption, any argument an "agnostic atheist" makes about God or Gods is necessarily half-assed, because your assumption (knowledge is not possible) undercuts your argument (there is no God).
