I don't know, I was trying not to leave anyone out, someone might not consider themselves to be any of the above.

there are only three choices: believe in god (theist), don't believe in god (atheist), or not sure if there is a god to believe in (agnostic)

Theists are those who believe in a god or gods.
Atheists are those who don't believe in any god or gods.
I don't mean to rain on your parade, but perhaps you should clarify your terms because I'm having a hard time figuring out who is excluded when you exclude both those who do and those who do not believe in a god or gods. Arguably it's not fair to call the comatose atheists. While they don't believe in any gods, they don't have any opinions about anything. So classifying them might be unjust. But they usually don't use the internet and thus can't answer at the moment.

I'm an atheist. I believe tons of stuff that has nothing to do with R&S. I also believe there is not a creator or anything beyond the natural.

(and the first poster noted correctly, the set containing theist and atheist contains everyone).

Are you looking for me?

Nontheists believe that the existence of God is completely irrelevant. Therefore, there is no point in believing in God (as a theist), believing there is no God (as an atheist), or even asking if there is a God (as an agnostic).

God does not define morality. Morality defines God.

Morality stems from empathy, which is an inherent part of any intelligent species.

Any moral deity would not demand to be worshiped. Any deity that demands to be worshiped is not moral and should not be worshiped. Therefore, worshiping God serves no useful purpose even if he does exist.

something came from nothing...Big Bang theory. But its weird because a lot of great thinkers of the past (Im not talking about Jesus) create a therory, come to a peek, and say, "Well, god takes care of the rest."

agnostic

I believe in God a better question for me would be how can anyone not with every sunrise and sunset I can't help but believe and every time I look into my child's face I thank God for his love

yeah.. thats not possible. I guess you might consider polytheist to be different but thats still a form of theist.

basically its like this

theist - yes
agnostic - mid range/unsure/doesn't care
atheist - no

theres no other choices xD

It is impossible to not be one of the three, I think.
