I believe there has to be supernatural beings, but i dont care about it.
Would this be more deistic or more atheist?

If you believe in Gods you're a theist, not an atheist. Whether you like them or care about them is irrelevant... if you believe, you're theist.

If you think God(s) got the world started and then left it to develop on its own without interference, you're a deist.

If you believe in God(s) but don't care and don't want to worship them, that's apatheism.

A deist is someone who believes there is a god of some kind, but who created the universe and wound it up like a clock, and now has no interaction with it and is just letting it tick away on it's own. That this god has left us no indication about himself, what he is like, or what he expects of us. If you believe there is a god, then you can't label yourself an atheist, you would be some form of a theist. A deist is a theist.

Still searching for that label huh? Do you think it;s cool to have an interesting one?To answer your question, no. You cannot use that term unless you want to look stupid. It's like calling yourself "a hockey fan who hates sports". You still sound like a deist. Atheists are people who have strong convictions that there is no god, deities or other metaphysical beings.
