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.

What do you call it if someone does not believe in god?

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.


What is a person called who is between an atheist and an agnostic?

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.
