Lately I've been experimenting calling myself Agnostic, (weak) Atheist, or a free-thinker.
I honestly think I could consider myself any of these terms.
However, I noticed:
Free-thinker was most accepted by my Christian friends.
Agnostic didn't turn out so badly.
Calling myself Atheist? It radiated hostility to a lot of religious people. lol
I'm sort of reluctant to call myself atheist now, because most people assume all atheists believe "a god cannot exist", which is a strong atheist viewpoint, not a weak atheist viewpoint.
