you'd probably classify me as an agnostic atheist but I would vehemently argue that I am merely agnostic.

your definitions need work.
agnostic = knowledge of god is impossible... meaning whether someone believes or doesn't believe in god, if they aren't agnostic they are certifiable.
atheist = defined as one that believes there is no god, or one that lacks a belief in god... both uses are used too commonly to the point i fail to recognize the term anymore because of the common use.
when you use "why the universe exists" it opens up a philosophical black hole that you shouldn't want to deal with in the first place.
