Well, no, atheism entirely precludes the existence of a god. Agnostics too believe that the burden of proof is on the person making the proposition, but the thing is that atheists are making a negative proposition of their own: 'God does not exist'. Agnostics take the view that 'God might exist, and the lack of evidence in favor of the idea makes it rational to continue thinking and acting under the assumption that there is no God.'

"fuck 'isms": The words of someone without a cohesive world view. Isms were invented as a convenience, they may not be categorically true in every case but they sure do make discussion easier.
