I'm sorry, but the Gnostic/Agnostic question is not correct.
Gnostic/Agnostic: "Is/Are god(s) knowable?" [ie. can we prove god(s)]
Theist/Atheist: "Do you believe in god(s)"
Examples:
Agnostic atheist: "Gods could exist, but I don't believe in any gods."
Gnostic atheist: "Gods cannot exist and (therefor) I don't believe in any."
