Not quite, as an agnostic position would involve some degree of neutrality, which is not the same as probability, i.e. the self-professed atheists are clearly leaning one way and the agnostics are too worried about falling off the fence that they keep perfectly balanced. It may of course just be some quantitative scientists hedging their bets until they feel they can safely make an inductive inference in the direction in which they may be predisposed to gather evidence.
But I know what you mean, it definitely lacks conviction ... which I must admit I prefer to excessive certainty either way (and I'm not an agnostic).
