You are a searcher.Atheism
You are a searcher.Atheism is a sytem of belief no less than Theism. And, I would point out one of the world's greatest religions, Buddhism doesn't embrace the idea of a supreme godhead at all. There is a 'creator buddha' mentioned in an obscure text who disappeared after the act of love called creation. Dismissing alternate beliefs out of hand without study is akin to knocking over strawdogs when a few might be Rottweilers. It is no less intellectually absurb than the blind men describing the elephant.

I love your answer. How can you possibly believe in so many contradictory different religions? Or to be perfectly reasonable, even one contradictory religion.

Obviously believing in the complete doctrines of all religions is preposterous, but I doubt you actually do.
I suspect you mean that you believe there is some truth in all religions, but none of them have it exactly right. This is agnostic spiritualism; a belief that there is "something out there" but no adherence to any one theory of what it is. I was an agnostic spiritualist right before I was an atheist.
