So does this make me Atheist, Agnostic, or??
Well I certainly believe in something *special* or *sacred* that resides in logical or scientific explanation. I do believe that that some things that scientific technology in its current form can't explain or correctly debunk/support (Deriving my "the world is flat" argument that we are always uncovering more truths or perceived truths).
I don't believe in any single dogma. In my spiritual exploration I always considered bits and pieces from each religion. Im skeptical of leaders and I am not tolerant of self serving bias or millitism.
I don't believe in a diety that enforces "moral authority" or a heaven/hell afterlife system.
I don't agree that existence is an unimportant random mess.

Non-religious thiest, I would guess. I think the same exact thing! I think god has no gender and no evil or good. I think god is an energy that exists infinitely throughout the universe. If the law that energy cannot be created or destroyed is valid, then energy was present before the universe came to be. I'm sure it needed energy to start aswell. There are somethings the human mind cannot understand. If we can barely understand our small portion of the universe, then we're far from understanding what created it. I also believe that energy has to do with the soul. Energy is ubiquitos in science. This is my best argument against my atheist friends. Its logical and involves science. I think atheists just reject belief because of major religions.

Agnosticism and atheism are two very different things. Like 'Soft' and 'Cold'. They aren't on a continuum, they talking about fundamentally different qualities of a statement.
Agnosticism is about 'not knowing the truth of a claim.'
If you don't claim to know, one way or the other, if the claims made by religion are true, you are agnostic.
You can be both agnostic and atheist, or both agnostic and theistic. Atheism and theism are about belief, not truth. An atheist does not believe in god(s), and a theist believes is a single god (and a polytheist believes in many gods...)
There are many, many labels. Neither atheism or theism are probably good fits for your beliefs, but agnosticism is probably a good label for your approach to religious/spiritual 'knowing'.
