I am around 95% Humanist. That's atheism with a moral dimension. I think I vary from the norm for humanists, in having a sense of the spiritual about life. I guess it's a bit bonkers, but I think Life itself is god. Not the big bearded creator, but life alone.
Life pulls beauty, meaning and worth from what would otherwise be a void of chaos. It should be valued and respected, for the continued existence of a universe that is aware of itself.
I think morality is something that is best achieved by thinking about the consequences of how we can harm others. Learning a set of rules, without giving thought to their meaning and intent, is not morality.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The Golden Rule is found all over the world and in all religions.

I was raised/educated STRICTLY - as a Roman Catholic Christian - at home, at school, by nuns and priests.
Which, of course, by my mid-20s, when I was a parent of 2 children, made Holy Mother Church my LEAST favourite religion. And determined my own kids wouldn't undergo similar 'headucation'.
I remain 'interested' in all the other religions, spirituality, etc - but now aged 70+ (and having had 3 close enclose escapes from the jaws of death in recent years) it would be disingenuous of me to make out I believe in ANY Life hereafter - and therefore dismiss ALL notions of some eternal paradise/hell, etc etc.
(How MANY virgins does a suicidal jihadist bomber WANT/EXPECT in the Gardens of Paradise for all Eternity - before he gets BORED out of his skull ? 1001 Arabian nights would be but a nano-second in Paradise - and we all know TOO MUCH of a good thing...etc)
I therefore claim to be an atheist - despite being unable to PROVE a negative.
But I DO HOPE to live on - in the memories of my children and grand-children - more fondly than otherwise.

2. is part of 1.
if you're going to split 'Christianity' into denominations, you should be aware there are about 34,000 denominations of 'Christianity'.
which would make for a pretty big list
I would go for option 34,008 - atheist

Number 8 but Atheism is not a religion. Also, isn't 1 & 2 the same?

None.
Atheism and agnosticism aren't religions.
