I'm fine with methodological naturalism; working under the assumption that all phenomena are natural and can be investigated scientifically. Philosophical naturalism is a hard position to defend since it makes too many assumptions.
Asupernaturalism would be similar to atheist in that it isn't any kind of positive claim. Rather, it's a rejection of a positive claim.
I guess "skeptic" is probably the best word, now that I think of it.
@berniebay. Skeptic is a good word, but it alone does not hold enough power for this question. I accept methodological naturalism, but I deny philosophical naturalism, as believe in the possibility of immaterial entities,as but do not have any preconceived ideas of them,except for a generalization of such, as a Universal intelligence, but not a anthropocentric version of such, such as the Abrahamic faiths do with god, but god is something I remain atheistic about.
I believe in the possibilities of everything, as someone who is open minded, I must. But, I don't actually believe that anything is immaterial since it hasn't been demonstrated to be true. Even if something is immaterial, if it exists, it is natural. If it affects reality, it can be tested.
Fits me better, as I do not accept naturalism, but I do not typically follow the typical version of 'supernaturalism.'
