So you've already answered your own question then. You're neither an atheist nor a materialist because you believe you can't know anything, or at least you refrain from making either negative or positive judgements.

Nihilism: The Root of the Modern Revolution by Orthodox Christian Hieromonk Fr. Seraphim Rose.

https://archive.org/details/fr-seraphim-rose-nihilism-the-root-of-the-revolution-of-the-modern-age

It has a different definition of Nihilism than what people tend to say. Most people equate nihilism with pessimistic fatalism, but here, Nihilism just means the idea that "There is no truth."

He identifies that this idea that "There is no truth" has been dogmatic in the west for the past few hundred years, and how this idea naturally unfolds in stages, each stage more destructive than the last.
