agnostic

I believe the term is "agnostic", but the true definition is often debated and somewhat vague.

The term for someone who believes in God would be "theist." That's an umbrella term that, at least technically, would also include followers of any particular faith, but they tend to identify themselves according to their particular faith and/or denomination. I'm not aware of a term that incorporates both theism and a rejection of Christianity specifically. Addition -- Someone who doesn't rule out that a God might exist is an agnostic. Someone who believes that God does not exist would be an athiest.

Two issues: You need to define false. If by false, you mean heretical, than I have no idea. If by false, you mean doesn't make sense or just plain silly, than I would say the answer is an agnostic with particular disregard for christianity. The problem with answering this question with just atheist or agnostic is the definition of those terms. An atheist disavows all gods, from Yaweh to Vishnu and everything in between, without discrimination. An agnostic often "hopes" there is a god, or believes that god cannot be proven, or thinks there may be a god or may not, and several other definitions, but doesn't necessarily vehemently rule out one specific religion.
