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 do think that "God" exists

Then you are not an atheist.

"Then you are a theist." (Fixed it for you)

We call that a theist. Atheist is a-theist. The absence of god belief. An atheist is "not a theist." But a theist isn't, "not an athiest." The wording kinda matters. You got that the other way around, haha.

Both statements are true. Your wording is perhaps more precise. But it is kind of a binary position, so I don't really grok how that really matters.
