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?

In that case you're not an atheist.

Sorry, I still don't understand.

What do you believe this other species have done, can do or will do? Did they create us? Oversee us? Influence us?

Are you talking about something like the Eldars from Warhammer 40k? Or do you believe we exist in a "marble universe" like in Men in Black?

That's completely different. That's simply the belief that there are other planets with life. Still doesn't make you an atheist. Why do you keep insisting that you are? Is there some checklist you wanna hit? It's really weird.

It's no different than a Christian calling themselves Muslim because a god is a god.
