Think again. That already has a name: universe

Evidently you are just trying too be equivocal? That isn't allowed.

We who are atheist (meaning not theist) don't. We couldn't care less about
your 'might be' conjecture with no basis in fact. "Atheism is
characterized by an absence of belief in the existence of gods." --

'Don't have to be atheist'?? Don't be silly, "Atheism is characterized
by an absence of belief in the existence of gods." --

It's just the opposite of what you say. Belief in the existence of gods is
not required. The only rational state in this case is an absence of belief
in the existence of gods.

Again:
"Atheism is characterized by an absence of belief in the existence of
gods." -- http://www.infidels.org/news/atheism/intro.html

Atheist agnostics go beyond absence of belief in the existence of gods to
unabashedly deny and repudiate, on principle, religious belief in the
existence of gods:

"That which Agnostics deny and repudiate, as immoral, is the contrary
doctrine, that there are propositions which men ought to believe, without
logically satisfactory evidence." -- Thomas Huxley, who coined the
term 'agnostic', in his excoriation of the Christian Belief,
"Agnosticism and Christianity"

"The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without
evidence." -- Thomas Huxley, Evolution and Ethics
