Just because I don't believe something for which there is no unambiguous evidence doesn't mean I must endorse your statement. If I recognize that I myself hold beliefs which are in the same boat, I'm in no position to argue that those who believe what I do not are wrong.
I say that makes you an agnostic. Actual atheism takes the further step of claiming that religious beliefs are wrong.

Lots of atheists are agnostic. I still don't believe in any gods and frankly find the ideas of 'first movers' and 'divine everything from nothing' border on incoherence. But I also have a deep respect for the autonomy of others and a theory of self and mind which allows for a wide variety of expression - including your own.
