If you were simply making a vague statement that there may or may not have been someone or some force that was involved in the creation of the universe and you consider the notion irrelevant because it cannot be known, I would say yes. I would consider you to be an agnostic atheist.
If the usage of the word may means that you believe that there is probably an intelligent force or being responsible behind the creation of the universe, that does not intercede in human existence, then you may be a deist.
I believe it's settled then! I am a deist! [emoji18]

For the time being. Naughty
