While you might not be an atheist ... you do have similar atheistic positions to Greek and Roman gods and no doubt Norse one's too? Do you not? You likely think they are false gods, as I likely will think yours is.
Just because a person is a monotheist does not make him an atheist with respect to other deities. Theism means believing in one or more gods.Personally I describe myself as an agnostic ... in that, that (for me) is how I handle knowledge as opposed to god or God which as far as I can tell does not impact my life. Knowledge or perhaps its lack does impact my life. I am an atheist in the same way I am an aphilatelist.
Traditionally, agnostics were people who genuinely didn't know if God existed whereas atheists were convinced that God did not and could not exist. Both lacked belief in God, but atheists were the more certain of their position. I don't see why many of the atheist posters here are behaving like politicians and are sitting on the fence.
You have a habit of being confused by things which never happened.
