Richard Dawkins’ Belief Scale Scoring Rubric

1.Strong Theist: I do not question the existence of God, I KNOW he exists.
2.De-facto Theist: I cannot know for certain but I strongly believe in God and I live my life on the assumption that he is there.
3.Weak Theist: I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God.
4.Pure Agnostic: God’s existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable.
5.Weak Atheist: I do not know whether God exists but I’m inclined to be skeptical.
6.De-facto Atheist: I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable and I live my life under the assumption that he is not there.
7.Strong Atheist: I am 100% sure that there is no God.

I'm between 3 and 4,I don't believe in a personified god,but I think there's something indescribable in the universe(even beyond our universe),probably a metaphysical concept

You left out "none of the above". Or Richard Dawkins did.

What would "none of the above" be? Wouldn't "agnostic" pretty much cover it?

De facto atheist. Yes I live my life as if none of the Gods exist, that there is no Bigfoot and no aliens amongst us.

I cannot understand how a person could not believe in any gods and yet live their life as if one exists. Or what that would even mean.

I'm a de-factor atheist. I'm not 100% sure about a lot of things.

x2
I didn't see anywhere an option in flux: "I keep looking for Him and finding Him anew (right where He said He would be)."

1. I know that GOD exists. I also know that GOD can be far beyond a gender I.d.
