I think you are confusing atheism, which is to not believe in any god or
spiritual entity like gogs, with agnostism. Agnostic people just don't care
for religion, but they may believe or not that a God exists. As for you,
who believes in Christian religion but doesn't follow it, I think you are a
believer, just not a practicing believer.
