===Conclusion===
There is a difference between saying ''I do not know'' and saying ''I do not believe'' and saying ''It is false''.
The usage of ''agnosticism'' varies between saying, "God may or may not exist"; "There is no way to know whether God exists or not"; and "I do not believe in God".
All usages of ''atheism'' are consistent with saying, "God does not exist." However, the statement, "I do not believe in God" can be described either as ''atheism'' or ''agnosticism''.
