Agnostic concerns knowledge. Atheism is a lack of belief. Both positions are compatible with each other.
If there was proof, you wouldn't be agnostic, because you would know that evidence existed for determining the existence of a deity, making the answer to existence knowable. And you wouldn't be an atheist because you would believe in the existence of a deity once you had satisfactory evidence.
So I still don't understand how proof makes an atheist into an agnostic.
