Logically, the Christian God, the FSM, and (from my perspective) you all have the same chance of being our creator.

If you give the Christian god and the FSM the same chance of being our creator then you are effectively an athiest IMO. Feel free to use the term agnostic, it may even be correct. Of course I have to conceed there is a tiny tiny possibility that either of these beings exist and if that makes me agnostic then so be it. I don't think it does though.
That is to say, for all practical purposes I'm an athiest and so is someone who only attributes a tiny probability to the existance of god or the FSM.

Interesting, I call myself an agnostic, but, like you, give an infintesimal chance to the existence of either of the aforementioned beings. Is "atheist" the more commonly accepted term for this belief system? If so, what is an agnostic? Someone who thinks that a Creator existing is closer to 50% probable?
