yeah i don't really classify myself under a sect either if you would call atheism a sect. i'm very eclectic as well by the way, i would say i'm an atheist because i don't believe in one so called all powerful, all mighty omnipotent "god" that created earth and life. i'm more partial to ancient views which of course are way older than Christianity that living gods who came down from the "heavens" created man such as gods like Ahura Mazda who gave man technology and knowledge and the god Anu which literally translates to sky-god. i believe that ancient man had more knowledge about the cosmos and how life truly originated. modern religion is mostly based on fear not on actual evidence. ancient man left evidence about there beliefs and all cultures around the world have a god coming down from the sky in there religious texts and in there legends. if you look at the writings of the ancient sumerians for example (who are the first civilization to develop writing) they talk about living gods who created man in jars and that those gods gave man the intellectual knowledge to become like the gods who created them. i basically don't believe in any modern man made religion. i believe the only religion that was true that human being can understand is now lost to the sands of time.
