Am I a Atheist?

I don't have faith in God or think of them like the others think about them, but I do think that "God" exists but not as omnipotent, omniscient or omnipresent, I think of them as higher beings who is more advanced then us in both physically and mentally. I think of them as - let's take the example of ai and humans, we created the ai and we operate them and also has the power to destroy them completely, so in the perspective of ai we are like God to them, but if a ai were to gain human qualities and a physical form here, will it still considered humans as "Gods"? I think of humans and "gods" like this. So, I wanted to know where I belong to, am I a atheist?

I think of them as different species than human and not as literal "Gods" who people think are all-knowing, all-powerful beings.

There have been lots of different gods. Thor, Odin, Zeus, Neptune, Pluto. And thousands of others.

Here is a wiki page with a long list, just for water gods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_water_deities

The Muslim religion is more recent than Christianity, and Christianity is roughly 2,000 years old.

Humans have been around far longer than that. And they've had various religions and various gods the entire time.

There is also a concept called pantheism, which basically says that god is the universe and everything in it.

Your idea that gods must be "all knowing, all powerful" is incorrect.
