The three terms are not mutually exclusive. you can be an agnostic atheist, or an agnostic theist. An agnostic doesn't know whether or not god exists. You can easily believe in god knowing full well you can't prove god exists, that you don't know for sure god exists, but you choose to make a leap of faith and believe that god exists. Same with atheism. You can not know whether god exists, know you can't prove god's non-existence, yet not believe in god. The three terms are not mutually exclusive. Only atheism and theism are mutually exclusive as atheism means, "without theism." You either believe in God or you don't. Try thinking about it on the subject of alien visitations. I don't believe they are happening but i certainly can't prove it. I can't say i know they're not happening. That makes me an atheist and agnostic on alien visitations. Some might believe they are happening but acknowledge they can't prove it, that they have no personal experience with alien visitation. They would be theist and agnostic on visitation. And so on...
