Thanks for sharing this chart. I see an agnostic and an atheist as different things. The agnostic says they don't know whether there is a God, while the atheist claims to know for certain there is no God (something no atheist can have enough knowledge to know).
I think God's goal is for us all to eventually become 100% certain He exists, and He could have easily done that in so many different ways, but then there would be no place for faith, which the Bible says pleases God. I know that many theists may claim 100% certainty that God exists or to definitely know Him, but I'm not sure one reaches 100% certainty until you see Him face to face. According to the Bible, there were some people who had direct, physical encounters with God, so they would certainly have 100% certainty, but that is not the experience of most humans, including theists.
