Also I suppose if you exchange believer for atheist we can all get past this.
OK everyone on this site is a non-believer.
There does that help?

So, you are actually
agnostic.
For the record, those many of us who are practicing Christians, but at heart really deists....and we simply find Christianity a convenient, and useful avenue, through which we can pursue a spiritual life. I'm not trying to speak for others, but in candid and in-depth conversations with other "Christians" many will admit as much when pressed on the issue.
You simply reject the choice we have chosen, perhaps because of some aversion or bad experience with institutionalized religion. Many practicing Christians also have "questions" about the precise nature and character of God--they (we) just choose a convenient and culturally, easy, path to satisfying our spiritual needs.

Its purely intellectual contemplation and interest in the subject.
