Good for you. My older brother went the other way. He actually converted to Mormonism after spending his young adulthood as an angry atheist .. hell he was just an angry guy period and for him atheism was simply another way to say "screw it".
It is perfectly fine to admit you don't know what's what as far as gods and religion is concerned. You seem to be finding your balance pretty well for one so young and after a religious upbringing like I never had to deal with. I'd say your impulse not to jump toward any beliefs straight off, including the belief that there are no gods, is a healthy one. I would resist letting belief edge over into wishing as both theists and strong atheists are prone to do. Restrict "belief" to what you think you have good reason to hold true and you won't go wrong. Certainty is the siren's call.
