Agnostic Atheism

Higher power? Aliens. They're hiding under the Earth's crust. Once we have wiped out all fossil fuels, they will rise up against us and take Earth from us. We must do what we can to stop them when this time is upon us.

Your definition of Agnosticism is incorrect. It is not necessarily being open-minded and accepting other beliefs, but a belief that certain knowledge, such as the existence or non-existence of a God or gods, is simply unknowable.

What about JUST agnosticism?
I believe there is no proof towards a higher being OR against a higher being.
I am not atheist or theist.

Believing there is no proof for or against does not prevent you from having an opinion on one or the other. Being an Agnostic Atheist, for example, simply means you do not believe in a god or Gods or practice any type of faith, but also believe that the answer is unknowable.

As it should be.

Jesus calls us to be the church, not definitely go to church.

Yeah, I'm smack dab in the middle. I don't believe either way. I don't think there is decent evidence for (or against) a god existing (or having ever existed).

Not believing either way is basically like saying I believe a god exists and I don't believe a god exists. You are going to lean towards one more than the other, such that I believe a god exists, but I can't be certain one does. It's the difference between truth and belief. You can believe one thing, but not claim that it's the truth.

But I'm not! I sincerely believe there is no reason to label myself as either one. I believe it's possible there could be a god, but I also believe it's possible there isn't one at all.

Give this a read: http://atheism.about.com/od/aboutagnosticism/a/atheism.htm

See, I used to coin myself as an Agnostic as well, until I read more into it.
