Knowing something and believing you know something are different things. Everyone believes they know something. No fallible being can ever know they know something (that is my belief).
I know there is no god in the same way that I know there is no tooth fairy.
Both fictional characters out of books that have no evidence of existing in reality.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
