Like i said, i think you've got it wrong. (Obviously there's more than one definition of the terms we're discussing.)

From Webster:

Atheism: a disbelief in the existence of deity b: the doctrine that there is no deity

I'm using definition a. You're using b.

I think asking a person if god exists is different than asking them if they believe in god.

The first question, does god exist, is the question that determines if your agnostic or not. If you don't know if god exists, you're agnostic.

But do you believe in god? That's a different question, that's the theist/atheist question.

Does Big Foot exist? I don't know. Do i believe it does? No.
