Atheism and agnosticism aren't mutually exclusive. Atheism relates to "belief" while agnosticism relates to "knowledge". One can be an "agnostic atheist": I do not believe in any gods, but recognise that I can't know for certain that there aren't any hiding somewhere in the universe.

Atheism only requires the "agnostic" or "soft" position: the lack of belief in a god. Some atheists take the "gnostic" or "hard" position, actively asserting that there is no god, but while atheism includes that position, it doesn't require it.
