I really like fanfiction. Reading and writing it. Nobody in my life knows and I plan on keeping it that way.

It’s agnostic atheism. I don’t believe one exists, but I also admit I don’t know for sure.

If there is a range of theories about the world say 1 billion different statements and 10 had a very good chance of being true, 100 a reasonable chance and 999,999,890 had a mathematically insignificant of being true say the same probability as my butt-hole being the living embodiment of the universe's creator, Santa being real, or the Easter bunny being the representative of Satan on earth it would be awfully silly if we talked about a tiny segment of those 999,999,890 as if they might be real only because they are particularly popular.

I don't describe myself as agnostic towards divine buttholism or Santa I say reasonably that they aren't true because that is how we describe things without meaningful probability of being true. Similarly there is no reasonable probability in my understanding of the universe having a creator so I confidently describe myself as an atheist.

It's just a bit of a pointless distinction. No atheist could claim they know for sure.
