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.

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?

No.
