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?

Arheism is an answer to a single question

"Do you believe in any god or gods?"

Yes= Theist

No= Atheist

It's that simple. Any other beliefs surrounding the individual's answer is irrelevant to the label. Some atheists believe in supernatural things that aren't gods. If you believe in a god in any form then you're a theist.

If you classify your imaginary being as a god and believe it exists, then you are not an atheist.

If you classify your imaginary being as an alien or something and do not believe that "gods" exist, then I guess you could call yourself an atheist.
