Atheism is basically stating that there is no higher power, no higher authority at all, that you believe in nothing but this life and what we see now. Agnostic (as commonly accepted) is basically saying you aren't sure, that you reserve judgement. I could be wrong but from what you're saying it seems you lean more toward agnostic than atheist, although atheist just kind of seems to be a term many latch on to.
I'm sure I'll see it, it's piqued my curiosity on a few levels. I give Mel credit for making a film in a dead language, and for his passion to put a film out which obviously won't go over well with a number of different groups. Unfortunately, any time any film with religion as the centerpiece is made it's bound to leave us with pathetic groups trying to get some camera time. We saw it with Dogma, we saw it with Last Temptation of Christ, we're seeing it with this. Too many people with an agenda who are wanting to piggy back the publicity of the film to force their views on the rest of us.
