If you're not sure, then you lack an active belief in a god or gods
Atheism=absence of belief in deity.Most atheists simply lack a belief in any god, which is the exact same position you take. I can count on one hand the number of atheists I've met who actively believe that there is no god* (that's both on-line and in real life).
If you want more information, you should Google the difference between weak atheists and strong atheists. While you self-identify as an "agnostic", weak atheists identify as "atheist", even while holding the same views as you.
Just so you know, it's highly offensive to accuse atheists of being "just another religion". Part of our identity is in our lack of religious belief, and the accusation is meaningless as anything other than an insult.
(* - there's a significant difference between actively and explicitly believing there is no god and simply lacking a belief)
