I have been regularly going to a reform synagogue for the last 12 years, but I dont know if I believe in the existence of god, although I believe in almost everything else. Can I still call myself a reform jew?

judaism doesnt require you to believe in elohim, it requires you to be the child of a jewish woman or to have converted to judaism.
it also requires not to believe or worship other gods, but disobeying that requirment doesnt stop you from being jewish the same way that driving on shabbat doesn't.

You would be right along there with most Reform Jews.

Sure. Reform Jews are pretty liberal.

Of course. Lead a moral and ethical life and you'll be rewarded in the afterlife -- just like Mother Theresa!
