Well, it depends. If you don’t believe there is any sort of higher power, then you’d be an atheist, yes; however, if you figure that it’s impossible to know if there’s a higher power, you’d be an agnostic. Whichever of the two you lean more towards with your lack of caring would work as a descriptor, I think.

Another distinction I’ve heard is between “soft” atheism and “hard” atheism; “hard” atheists believe that there is no god, while “soft” atheists believe that there is not enough evidence to determine if God exists or in what form. Most agnostics could easily be considered “soft atheists” by this definition.
