This is me:
I completely believe there is no God. I completely believe there is no Pink-Clothed Rodent that watched my every move from the moon. For both of these issues I cannot completely affirm they are false. I cannot say they are wrong because they have no evidence against/for them. (Of course we have evidence against fundamnetal religion {Christianity, Muslim}, but I mean to talk about the idea of a creator who ran away/ignores us.) I am able to believe that the rodent and a creator dont exist. I can't prove that to anyone, but you scare me if you believe it.
What am I? (technically speaking, dont say "I think", you need to know.)

You're an atheist...but you need to do some research so you can prove it. If you can't fully understand what you believe, how do you know it's the right thing for you? I'm an atheist, so don't think I'm converting you or anything, I just like to see atheists more informed than the religions they reject. Otherwise we're no different from them.
There's doubt in everything. Hell, even gravity is a 'theory'. But you wouldn't dismiss gravity, would you? It's the same with atheism. We're 99.99999% sure there's no god, just like scientists are 99.99999% sure that the theory of gravity is right. If you feel that way, welcome to the club.

Atheist believe that there is no God. Yes it is a belief system just like religion they try to get away from so badly. You cannot prove that there is no God. So you believe there is no God no matter how secure you are in it. An Agnostic believes that they may be "no" God, but is not sure.

Sounds like an atheist. An agnostic is one who says: I don't know whether there is a god or not, therefore I will not say that there is or isn't one. There are different flavors of agnosticism. Some argue that it is impossible to know whether god does or does not exist. Fact of the matter is that if you just don't buy that whole notion of god, period, then you're an atheist. atheism = without theism. Emphasis on "without".

Well if you completely believe there is no god period you are an atheist.
But if you believe that you cannot prove the existence of god or the non existence of god then you are agnostic.

you are an atheist. nobody on earth knows the truth of god or no god... But since there is no evidence to believe in one most (smart) people would not jump to the conclusion that their is one(god)... unless your parents indoctrinated you.

the whole "i dont believe in god" thing is atheist.
but i don't agree with idea that our creator ran away and ignores us. i truly do not believe that, but i'm a christian, so it depends on your personal belief.

think of Bertrand Russel's celestial teapot. None of us can prove that a teapot isn't orbiting Mars, so in point of fact, we are all celestial teapot agnostics. But in practice, none of us has any reason to believe such a notion, so in fact we are - in effect - celestial teapot atheists.
