tl;dr

I don't think it's possible to be in some middle ground between theism and atheism. You're either one of the other and if you claim to "not know" then I think by definition you are an atheist because you lack belief in a God and don't accept theist claims. It's a true dichotomy.

However, you can be agnostic atheist and agnostic theist. You just can't believe and disbelieve at the same time. I agree also with Adrian's comment above.
