Upon more reflection, I'll refrain from identifying myself with any particular view of atonement. Here are basics of my view:
1) God planned the atoning death of the incarnation of God, Jesus Christ, before the creation of the universe
2) All humans apart from Christ sinned and fell into a debt that they could not pay
3) Christ paid the debt for our sins that frees believers from the devil's domain and all curses
4) The atonement includes healing/salvation in spirit, mind, and body
