The extra word is unnecessary. Everyone already knows that neither point can be truly proven, and as you pointed out already the terms atheist, and theist are terms that apply to belief, and not knowledge. Since we've already agreed that the word atheist means a lack of belief in a god, and does not need, or include any definitive knowledge then adding the word agnostic is just superfluous, and unnecessary.
You are an atheist. You don't believe in a god. Being open to changing your mind if events prove otherwise is not something that needs an additional qualifier.
