I define myself as an agnostic but that's because I just don't know and there's no way of ever knowing. And it's not limited to God, either. One of my friends asked me if I was also unsure of the existence of fairies and I said "Why not? At least when I lose my car keys I can blame the fairies and not dementia!" As far as God goes, as an agnostic I do lean towards atheism more than towards the possibility of existence, though.
And I agree so very much that there's no need to fuck up family gatherings, sometimes happening twice a year, with grand declarations of atheism. Suck it up, enjoy the time with your family and if they do something that offends you and your beliefs, sure, reply. But until then I see no need to upset everyone.
