Not really. The technical definitions are as follows:
Agnosticism — is unknown or inherently unknowable. Some agnostics take a stronger view that the concept of a deity is incoherent, thus meaningless and irrelevant to life. is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly theological claims regarding the existence of God, gods, or deities The term is used to describe those who are unconvinced or noncommittal about the existence of deities as well as other matters of religion.
Atheism, in its broadest sense, is the absence of belief in the existence of deities. A narrower definition includes only those who believe that deities do not exist, and excludes those who hold no position on the question (see agnostics and other non-theists). In other words, an "atheist" can be defined as either:
- A person who does not believe the proposition "At least one god exists"; or
- A person who believes the proposition "No god or gods exist".
