I lack belief in a creator because I see no evidence of one. It seems to be the case that there couldn't even be evidence of one. But I'm always open to being convinced otherwise.
The nearest I could say is if a bunch of stuff started happening which looked very much like direct intervention from an outside agent, that would be potential evidence. But still, it's difficult to form a testable hypothesis.
More importantly, I don't care if something created this reality, or why, beyond simple curiosity.

Why do you not care if something created this reality, or why, beyond simple curiosity?
But we could work this out if we know if we got here by an accident or Created by God and I don't see a middle ground in this like not making a judgement upon the two and accepting neither because that would be being ignorant.
Ok. I lack belief that you have intelligence.
