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?
Okay here is the answer to your question. Belief as state uses boolean logic. Either you in something or you don't. If you say "I don't know what to believe" then I would say you clearly don't believe. I do note that some theists may use that phrase to denote confusion, but in that moment they usually still actually believe.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
