As an agnostic atheist I don't say that there isn't a god, because I don't know for sure. I just lack belief in it.
I also think theists shouldn't say "There is a god". The "I don't know" belongs on both sides. Because no one knows.
Some go about claiming why/how everything came about but I won't (I think it's that huge need/desire if you will to answer something we know nothing about). Because I think it's smarter to say "I don't know" than to go about making baseless claims.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
