I do not hold a belief in God, as it is an unsubstantiated claim, hence --> atheism.
However, I do not claim to know there isn't a god, hence --> agnosticism.
Newsflash, many, many theists are agnostic as well.
Do you believe that there is no God or just that God hasn't been substantiated?
I believe the concept of god favored by any theist I've ever met has all the attributes of an concept that started so flawed as to be utterly indefensible right from the beginning, and subsequently made worse by ad hoc bullshits clearly concocted to cover its flaws from the gullible.
It is not a wise bet that concept with such attributes, and lacking any independent direct evidence, has significant chance of being factual.
I would say anything else so unlikely to be true, for example the sun actually rises from the west and an elaborate misunderstanding caused us to believe it actually arises from the east, could be confidently dismissed as false. So god as you or any theists claim him to be as clearly do not exist as the sun does not rise from the west.
