Is the Atheism/Theism belief/disbelief a false dichotomy? are there other options?

RE: Is the Atheism/Theism belief/disbelief a false dichotomy? are there other options?
Further thoughts:

Saying you're not sure if you're an atheist or a theist is a perfectly acceptable answer. That's not the same as actually refusing to answer the question of belief, which "just agnostic" is guilty of. Reading our own brains can be hard sometimes. There is no duty to identify as one or the other. I suppose it's possible for different parts of the brain to hold different beliefs, so you could technically be both.

I'm not sure how much this is bothering you, but my advice is to ask yourself, does it matter if there is a god? What difference would it make to anything? We have absolutely no evidence it is interacting or even interested in us, if there is one. To me, it would make no difference at all if it were proved tomorrow. The fact that I'm an atheist is simply a reaction to the evidence. I'd carry on as I do now regardless.
