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.

One more time: no.

Actual atheism says that religious beliefs are unsupported b y any evidence and are not accepted as true.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
