Atheist does not mean not believing in religion. Atheist means not believing in a god or gods. Theism is the belief in god in one form or another. Atheism is the belief in no god.

Agnostic is probably the correct term to define someone who is unsure about God, but rejects religion. Someone who believes in God but rejects religion would be a deist....Show more

I don't think that makes you a hypocrite. You aren't portraying beliefs you don't actually follow or believe yourself which is what it means to be a hypocrit as I understand it. I can definetely buy that if there was a god they might not be anything like what humans have imagined and that religions are human constructs. What I think is beside the point though. Your question was if you are a hypocrit for thinking that and I don't see how that position alone makes you a hypocrite at all....Show more

Agnosticism is a position on knowledge. You're either a theist or an atheist, gnostic or agnostic. If you don't believe in God, but don't know if he exists or not, you're atheist agnostic. If you do believe in God but don't know if he exists or not, you're theist agnostic.

The religion question just makes you secular; irreligious....Show more

That's a fare comment, I think a lot of us are really we don't want to reject the idea of a god 'just in case', but we can't accept the fairy tail of religion. I prefer to call 'God', the creator, until the Sern Atom Colder proves the theory of the Big Bang and the string theory....Show more

I don't think you're a hypocrite, but that's a weird way to phrase your beliefs. Don't you mean that you believe in God, but you don't believe in religions? I'd just call that agnostic, because that's pretty much what it is.

Agnostic- believes in some sort of higher power (like God), but doesn't follow any particular religion

Atheist- doesn't follow any religion and believes there is no higher power...Show more
