Non-Theist
ANY of the thousands of "gods" proposed, imagined, worshiped, loved, feared, and/or fought over by humans MAY exist -- awaiting verifiable evidence

Moved to discussion forum. There is no question to be debated.
Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

#6. I have slowly progressed from #5 in the last 3 years or so. Every day I progress a tiny bit more towards 7.

I picked de facto theist. As a former theist, I doubt that I could ever be 100% positively convinced that there is no God. I think the only people who truly fit into that category are those who have never believed in God, nor have they tried, to the point that the whole concept of God is foreign and unusual in the same sense that atheism is foreign and unusual to someone who was born and raised as a theist.

Seven, but because my (anti-)metaphysics do not allow it rather than any conversion due to naturalistic evidence. I'm more of the opinion that the concept of God is a logically meaningless operation due to language (Nietzsche, logical positivism) than an actual concept, and that it is wholly irrelevant.

6 leaning towards 7. For all practical purposes I do not believe in God, but if a god exists then it manifests itself completely and utterly unlike the traditional portrayal of god.
