Sounds like you're an agnostic atheist to me. You haven't accepted the claim that a God exists, but you don't claim to know that they don't exist either.

This pair of labels I would guess covers about 90%+ of atheists.

I know that the god from the Christian Bible, Torah, Quran, blah blah blah is complete bull, and so are those other polytheistic gods, but I think that there is still a chance for a weird-ass god that puts some rules (just a few things at least) in order and even an afterlife. And I don't even think about those "possible" things very often.

Would I be an atheist?? Agnostic??? I'm a bit confused. Haaalp meh

Agnostic atheist.

Probably both, it's usually both. If you want only one you could flip a coin or something.

Yeah, my religious views are pretty much identical to the OP and I sometimes use both labels to describe myself. If there are questions, I'll spell out what I believe but I will not quibble over the meaning of poorly defined words.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I swear I've heard Mormons say something like this...

I think the question is how much chance. If you think there is as much of a chance of the after life as, say, fairies existing in a garden, then you're an agnostic (and also potentially an atheist). If you think there is more of a chance of an afterlife or anything supernatural really, then the entire universe existing in the eye of Bahamut, then you are not an atheist or an agnostic.

Sorry, I can't label what you are. i can only tell you what category you wouldn't fall under given the small amount of information i have
