Right now, it looks very much as if Atheists are in the minority.

Agnosticism and atheism are not mutually exclusive. I am both.

They're included under theism for the purposes of the poll.

I would consider atheism, agnosticism, and anti-theism to be acceptable ways of describing my beliefs, but most definitely not theism.

Looks like your original surmise was invalid.

Out of these options: Agnostic.

I am not sure whether a diety exists or not, but i assume there is none, since i see no reason for one to be there.

I am open to the existence of a diety, but the bible contradicts itself and pretty much states that there are more gods than just the one.
Also, even IF the abrahamic god turns out to exist, i'll still not worship him, since the bible makes him out to be kind of a D-bag

You believe in a god, ergo you are a theist in the broadest sense of the world. If you think that it is appropriate to describe the whole of nature as a god, then, unless you think the material world does not exist, you are not an atheist.

I simply ask the question what is a god? Then if I get a definition of god I will decide whether I agree with that definition. I despise organized religion. I think Jesus Christ was completely bonkers. But this doesn't mean I don't have a soul.

Why are you here on this this earth? If not god, then why?

That's actually kind of offensive.
I revere the inherent order of the universe and express it by learning about the natural sciences, but I don't consider the universe to be a conscious being. Naturalistic pantheism rejects belief in metaphysics or the supernatural, so atheism and agnosticism are the norm.

Wikipedia wrote:

Some members view themselves as atheists, while others hold agnostic stances. Some members use theistic vocabulary, however they do not believe in a thinking creator god, and simply use the word "God" to describe their feelings of reverence towards Nature and the wider Universe.

I'll just vote anti-theist to express my disdain for the conflation.
