According to the definition of atheism ("The lack of a belief in a god") I would be defined as an atheist right? I don't believe there is a heaven or hell. I believe in ghosts and that you stay on earth when you die. So would I be classified as an atheist? Also, on a side note, my mom has been harassing me to go to church on Christmas (my family is Christian) and she guilt trips me about it constantly, what should I say to make her stop? Also I'm sorry if any terms I used are not correct, I've researched atheism a lot but I've never talked to anybody about it so I wouldn't know what is appropriate or not.In my opinion, if you see the existence of God as a credible idea (i.e. not completely full of shit), you could identify as agnostic.
I'd describe myself as agnostic about whether there is "something" out there, atheist about most religions I've heard about, and anti-theist with regards to the Christian God idea-- an all-loving, all-powerful God doesn't mix well with infant ebola deaths IMO.
