That’s absolutely not the case.

It absolutely IS the case. If you don't believe in a god, you're an atheist. End of story. If you're open to the idea of there being a god, but don't believe in any of the ones presented thus far, you're still an atheist.

Agnosticism is the belief that there’s something out there

That's incorrect. Agnosticism is the idea that "the existence of God, of the divine or the supernatural is unknown or unknowable". The idea there there's something out there is not agnosticism, it's just really weak theism.
