I don't really know where you're trying to go with this. You're asking things that should have simple obvious answers.
I'm sorry,i meant "i don't know" as a response to whether i know what a god is or not.
Implying that i don't know whether i believe in a God or not.
As in,i don't even know what a God is to choose whether i believe in it or not.Is there a thing for that?

You would be an atheist, if you have not accepted the claim that a god exists. The certainty of your belief has little to do with it, because not accepting the claim "god exists" is not the same as making the claim "god doesn't exist". If someone makes the claim to you "god exists" and you say "I don't know about that, can you prove it?" then they have not met the burden of proof for their claim in order to convince you to believe, and you are an atheist.
