You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but to me the difference in the way agnostics and atheists relate both to their own beliefs and to other people is the only important distinction about them. To sum up the part of the distinction that I see as critical: atheists proselytize for their point of view, agnostics don't. Neither one's behavior tells us anything about the gods--but then how could it? By definition, atheists and agnostics don't believe in gods, or a God.
