Depends entirely on the God claim at hand.
Towards any omni- claims, I'm a strong/gnostic atheist since it's not a logical possibility. They are claiming something impossible is possible, it's not a well formed claim.
Towards any weaker claims, that there's some creator of some sort, that you might want to label God, I'm agnostic.
Towards weaker claims but with proposed knowledge of the creator that can't possibly be known, I'm as close to gnostic as you can get while still acknowledging the "possibility" that this might all somehow be correct. But that amounts to a general open-mindedness about possibly being wrong about anything, and I give the claim no more weight than invisible unicorns.
