"Oh you believe in ghosts? the supernatural? Then you are not one of us!"
Did you really think we'd say something like that? Your stance is that of an agnostic atheist, as long as you can doubt the existence of any deity. If you don't believe in one, that's even better.
But, if you ask "what I am", I'd say you are a human, really, atheism is a position against a particular claim, it has nothing to do with your identity, and it doesn't define a person. Think of it as an abbreviated word for saying "I won't buy your BS without proof".
