I would say "I don't know what to believe" is equivalent to "I don't yet believe the statement is true, and I don't yet believe it is false."
In the case of the God question, in my opinion that makes you an atheist, you do not actively believe in gods. But of course, it's just a label. It's a sticker I put on people who walk past me on the street and they are welcome to pull it off and put another one on instead. But I got plenty more stickers... and I put one on your back that you haven't noticed yet... Hahaha!
If you genuinely don't know what your own beliefs are, to me that suggests a different situation. Then you literally wouldn't know if you were an atheist or a theist.
