I think the misconception is (and a lot of people would be put off atheism because of it), is that the following are seen as the definitions:

Theism: I know that god exists
Theist Agnostic: Don't know, but believe
Agnostic: I don't know whether or not a god exists
Atheist Agnostic: Don't know, but don't believe
Atheist: I know that no gods exist

If the definition of agnostic is that you believe its impossible to know either way, then I think almost all atheists are agnostic.

Again, don't attack like a Jeovah's Witness, that's sure to be counter-productive. Be casual and friendly.

The Resistance you're right on. Be too agressive, attack too hard and they might go running back to Jesus for comfort.

Hmmm. By those definitions, then, I'm probably atheist agnostic.

Although it might be closer to, "I don't know, and I don't care, but it sure is interesting to talk about religion and see the effects that religion has on people." .
