Not really, in my opinion. Most people don't believe in most of the gods that other people worship. I'm not sure if that makes them atheists. I'm not sure what you mean by a higher power though.
I'm fairly ok with people labelling me "agnostic", but it wouldn't be how I'd choose to label myself. It mostly seems to be people who are very religious who choose that label fo me though. The kind who think that atheists are just people who believe in a god, but want to poke him in the eye. It's more an accusation, if you see what I mean.
