Atheism is the default stance, you don't like it but that's tough. I have no belief. Also I by default lack belief in any concept you invent. I've looked into the whole god shit and I just don't believe it. Get over it.
Lack of belief does not equal belief.

Your belief about this is crippling your ability to think logically. Do you see how confused your statement is? Let's pick out some contradictions:

I'm not stating that there is or is not a god, I don't know

vs

I've with-held judgement because of a lack of evidence I have no belief

vs

I don't know but at the same time I don't believe it. I've looked into the whole god shit and I just don't believe it

Far from lacking a belief, you hold several contradictory viewpoints at the same time. Your mind is tangled in knots trying to justify your position, because it has no justification. Either you claim God doesn't exist or you don't know. Period.
