IMO, it's a bit more intellectual (or intellectually honest?) to label yourself as an Agnostic and admit that you can't say there isn't a "god" or the God. (Strike-through left for emphasis/effect).

Once you realize you have always been or actually are Agnostic then you can adopt the title of Anti-Theist (if you don't already).

As I've said times before; My Theistic view comes down to going back to beginning of everything. Time, space, reality itself, everything we perceive and everything we cannot perceive (things far away, or unimaginably small, or in other realms/dimensions). Nothing cannot create anything.... Complexity and order cannot increase... etc. etc. I cannot look at everything we have and know and think that it all came about by a mere random/lucky chance.

If one can think that we came from nothing then that in itself is a belief (or, if you get to the root of it - what some could call a "religion").
