I identify as an agnostic atheist in exactly this way. We don't know, based on our current understanding, whether there is something that 'created' the universe, or not. That being said, I am 99.999 percent certain that no human myth about gods has ever been remotely close to the truth of reality. The Abrahamic myths are so lacking in any sort of proof that they are obviously fiction.

That’s the thing. Any human depiction of god is almost immediately disprovable because it makes supernatural claims, but the idea that there could be something out there isn’t. (We very well could be living in a simulation, and there are even some mathematical arguments that suggest we’re almost certainly in one.)
