Hello Drew, welcome to the forum 
Yes, from what you say, you are an atheist. It's just someone who doesn't believe in god (or claims that gods exist). It doesn't mean you have to also claim that there are no gods for definite. Belief in other stuff such as ghosts doesn't alter this, and you don't have to be anti-religion.
Sorry to hear your mum is hassling you, that's not right. It's hard to know exactly what to recommend, but maybe something about you being old enough to make these decisions for yourself? Or if you feel you can tell her you don't believe any more, you could explain that it's no longer appropriate or meaningful for you.
Do you feel she would be receptive to you talking about how you don't believe?
