Agnosticism... is a position where one avoids making a decision at all, although in the process you end up in a theist position since the possibility of a higher deity is by no means rejected.

Lack of belief in deities is in no way mutually exclusive from avoiding to make a decision about deities. While you can lack belief because you haven't had the opportunity to form an opinion on the matter at hand (being unaware of said matter), you can also reject to form an opinion
which results in lack of belief.
This video sums it up excellently.
"There is more than one way to lack belief in deities."
