Just curious, but what is your prospective Master's degree in? If philosophy, I find it odd to say the least that an exegetical paper on Hebrews would pass muster. Is your school Christian-based?
I am majoring in theological studies at an evangelical seminary. Also, the assumption that there is no god or spiritual existence will influence how you respond to a number of other philosophical questions, just as the assumption that there is a god does.
And what of the conclusion that there are, as yet, insufficient reasons to believe in gods, but it remains an open question that could be settled with . . . you know, evidence? If you choose to view basic, commonsense skepticism as somehow an ideology, I really don't know what to say to you. You won't find a lot of atheists who make sweeping knowledge claims about whether any conceivable god exists. Most of us are agnostic on the question. But disbelieving claims that lack good evidence? That hardly suggests a comprehensive ideological viewpoint.
