I am not agnostic, for the same reason.
I guess my views don't have a label, because they're customised to my own beliefs?

I'm agnostic and don't have a concept of God. To be agnostic you just have to believe there is more to the world than science can eventually prove, whether its ghosts, karma, life after death whatever.
Most people think they're atheists when they're really not (I thought the same at one point)
Atheism isn't just not believing in God

No, agnosticism refers directly to a
deity, which in turn refers directly to a sole "controller". Since I do not give way to that concept, I'm not qualified under the term 'agnostic'.
If anything, I'm "agnostic atheist", but I don't even strictly come under that.
Btw, you're also wrong about "To be agnostic you just have to believe there is more to the world than science can eventually prove" - because there is the agnosticism branch that understands that objectively these things don't exist.
