Their question: if you don't know if there isn't a god, how can you say you don't believe if you don't know?
Aaaaaauuuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh

There is another way to approach this. Tell them you certainly do not pretend to know for a fact that their belief is wrong. Emphasize instead that you just don't share it. Tell them you've never felt the presence of God, that you tried to do as they taught you when you were younger but now that you're adult you have to decide for yourself.
