It is not categorized as a religion, theologically or philosophically speaking.
I am not sure what is vague about my answers? I disbelieve that gods, souls and an after life exist, because I have yet to be offered demonstrable and falsifiable evidence, and valid and sound logic, to support theist's claims that those things exist.
What’s vague about your answers is that you’re saying there’s lack of evidence to make up your mind on souls and the afterlife but you also place a belief in the brain.
I currently disbelieve, based on the current lack of evidence to support the claims that a god, soul or afterlife exist. I am open to being convinced that they do exist, but I currently have no warrant or justification to believe they do.
I am not absolutely certain of the nonexistence of gods, souls, afterlife.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
