RE: Religous views
You're an atheist, Linh.??Agnosticism, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is holding the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable??; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god.
So, since you ultimately do not believe in God you are an atheist.??Atheism has always been associated with people who hate god in that the prefix "a-" can be defined as "against"; it is actually used herein as "not" or "without'.
As for the spirits and ghosts; they don't necessarily have a religious connotation.??Thus, you're free of being barred by any specific religion due to your acceptance of their existence.??

RE: Religous views
Just be ready to defend yourself when they ask why you hate God.??xp
Just use the etymology defense.??A- = No, as in atypical, asexual or--if before a vowel or some h-words--anhydrous.??-the- = god as in theology, polytheistic, monotheistic (poly- = many, mono- = one, -ology = the study of).??-ist = One who takes part in a specific action as in pianist, violinist, bicyclist.
Providing a definition is always the easiest way out of an argument.??
