Just a quick question. Sorry if it's short and blunt... Can you be a pantheist, and atheist?

If you don't mind a short answer: no.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Pantheist means you think the universe is god. So can you reject god claims and believe the universe is god?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Or that you believe in ALL gods. Take your pick really. But neither definition of pantheism is atheism because both involve a belief in god. You could be the first type of pantheist and call yourself a deist too:
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Eh. From what I've read, you don't have to literally think the universe is God. It's simply stating that the universe is equal with divinity. It doesn't have to mean a literal God.
