Yes, but Hume was an atheist on the grounds that he could not know a God existed. Also, the logical consequence of atheism and agnosticism is nihilism. The ideas flow together.

No, David Hume was not an agnostic. Hume was an atheist. I suggest that you go back and read his work again (I'm assuming that you read it a first time).
