I like saying I'm an agnostic atheist because I don't believe in God, or any religoun for that matter, but I don't rule religous beliefs out as a possiblilty for the cause of life because there is no concrete proof for either case. Does this make sense or even work as a belief system?

I'm an agnostic atheist, as well.
Agnosticism is the philosophy that the existence of a god or gods cannot be known.
It's a position on knowledge.
Atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods.
It's a position on belief.
Knowledge and belief are not the same thing, as we all know.
I'm agnostic because I admit I don't know, and I'm an atheist because there is no evidence for a deity, and until there is, I don't believe in any deity.
Makes perfect sense.
One thing I would note, however... is that though I, like you, don't rule out a deity as a *possibility*... It's as improbable to me as a giant purple cow sneezing the universe out during a particularly bad bout with the cosmic flu.
You're pretty much in the same boat as me: I discount any of the manmade gods and scriptures of world religions, however, I don't go as far as to say there is NO god or creator, or creators, or force, or explanation, or whatever, that was responsible for the creation of the universe. I don't agree with your title though.. but you do have a point. You're not quite agnostic, but you're not quite atheist.. there has to be a better term than a combination of the two... anyone??
Well, I think you are more Agnostic but I guess you can call yourself as Agnostic Atheist if you want. At least you have made your choice. That is what God wants you to do. As much as He loves you, He will do what He says He will do because He is just. He lets you to choose if you serve Him or not. : )
draw close on, i'm going to discover the answer I used final time I responded this appropriate comparable question. via the way, you will desire to truly cite your source once you quote somebody like this. Ray convenience would be pissed. ok, right here this is. I decrease it down somewhat, considering you quoted particularly much less of the propaganda than the different guy: Atheism isn't the assumption contained in the absence of gods, this is the absence of thought in gods. Atheists do no longer inevitably make any effective assertion approximately gods. As for this crap approximately "Having the limited information I even have at contemporary, i've got faith that there is not any God", do you preface each assertion you're making with the comparable qualification? Do you assert "Having the limited information I even have at contemporary, i've got faith i'm thirsty"? Or "Having the limited information I even have at contemporary, i've got faith my footwear exist"?
Sounds like an agnostic all the way. I can understand an agnostic because it is logical since we can't know for sure. Believing is by faith. Now, an atheist is a whole different story. They are very proud and say they KNOW there is no God. That is not possible.
