Anti-Clericalism is defined by opposing clericals and the societal influence of organized religion in both governmental and public affairs. This differs from being anti-religious since you can just oppose organized religion but not religious practices themselves, and not all anti-clericals are atheists.
Anti-clericalism has been practiced by both religious people and anti-religious people, such as during the protestant reformation during Europe or in state atheist countries like the USSR.

Atheist Fundamentalism is an oxymoron, because, fundamentalism implies a subscription to a belief set like a text book. One could be fundamental in a non-theistic philosophy, but, it is impossible to be an atheist fundamentalist.

However, in the context of it being used as an insult, it is used to denote atheists who are 100% certain that god does not exist (positive atheism) and hold anti-religious stances. This is the opposite of a religious fundamentalist who is 100% certain that god does exist and hold anti-atheist stances.
Atheist Fundamentalism is the polar opposite of religious fundamentalism because both regard their beliefs as being objectively correct while being just as intolerant as each other.

A gnostic atheist is someone who knows that things like god and whatnot are real. It has nothing to do with actual gnosticism, as that would be an oxymoron. The term "gnostic" in this sense just means that they know. This would differ from the term "agnostic", as an agnostic atheist would just believe there is no god, but would make no claim that we could know if god existed or not. A regular atheist would be someone who doesn't claim to know if god doesn't or does exist, they would just not believe.
I can call myself a gnostic atheist, as I can say for certain that things like ghosts and the like do not exist.
