Am I still an atheist if I believe in a higher being?

[vixene]

Why would you believe that whatever set off the universe is a thinking being rather than a physical process?

It could be either or tbh, not really bothered by what it actually is. Just wondering whether it's reasonable to believe in it and if I'm still classified as an atheist.

I don't actually have any proof that this exists. However, you don't have any proof it doesn't either.

I've heard of that, I doubt I'm pantheistic but perhaps a deist. What's the difference between a deist and a theist?

YOU'RE the one making a claim, YOU have to provide proof.  I don't have to prove anything.  If you got nothing, just say so.

Erm...I didn't make any claims, I just asked a question. This isn't a debate on whether a higher being exists.

So am I an atheist or not?
