An agnostic atheist is someone who does not believe in a god or gods but also acknowledges that the existence of a god cannot be proven or disproven. An agnostic theist, on the other hand, believes in a god or gods but also acknowledges that the existence of a god cannot be proven or disproven.
The main difference between an agnostic theist and an agnostic atheist is that an agnostic theist believes in the existence of a higher power or deity but acknowledges that it cannot be proven, while an agnostic atheist does not believe in a higher power or deity and also acknowledges that it cannot be proven.
A non-theist is someone who does not believe in a specific deity or god, while an atheist specifically denies the existence of any deity or god.

He is a theist - he describes himself as a Muslim.
She is catholic.
I presume you mean, Richard Branson. He is an atheist.
Richard Dreyfuss has described himself as a believer in God, but does not affiliate with any specific religion. This would classify him as a theist.
Atheist - If he is sure there there is no specific god because of the impossibility and/or improbability of his existence. Agnostic - Not sure whether there is a god or not. Usually does not care. An atheist is the opposite of a theist. The theist believes there is evidence for the existence of their favorite god. The atheist does not. It would be illogical for the atheist to "deny" the existence of something for which there is no evidence. Atheism is merely the lack of a belief. Knowledge is absolute. Since nobody can know with absolute certainty no gods exist, everyone is agnostic. So the so-called "agnostic" has the same lack of knowledge as the atheist or theist has. It's just commonly accepted that an agnostic does not commit either way.
These are fine distinctions, but some philosophers define a range of beliefs: Thiest - certain that god exists. Weak thiest - acknowledges that one can't be certain, but believes. Agnostic - neither believes nor disbelieves. Weak atheist - acknowledges that one can't be certain, but disbelieves. Strong atheist - certain there is no god. As you can see, "weak atheists" hold the middle ground - in fact, most atheists are probably weak atheists - they acknowledge that certainty isn't possible, but it is very unlikely that god actually exists.
He an anti-theist (against religion) but more-so agnostic when it comes to the existence of a so called "God".
Just ask them if they are atheist, theist or agnostic. most won't be ashamed to tell you. However if they don't agree with your simple 3 category breakdown you might get an answer like None of those, Secularist, pagan, Rastafarian, Epicurean, Stoic, Freethinker, etc. You will then have to shuffle your categories.
