[split]Atheism is based of ignorance.

[Fidel_Castronaut]

If you want to say we don't or can't know for certain, this side of death anyway, then I'm going to agree with you. What I don't agree with is why you opted to believe what you believe. Some aspects of faith can be challenging and you may find yourself disagreeing or chafing against certain dogmas and doctrine and what have you. The Enlightenment and the scientific era did happen you can't go back to the middle ages. But I still don't see you would have to abandon all faith in God when there many good reasons to believe he exists, now more than ever possibly. So yes I'm being serious.

Or, rather, not believe.

There are no 'good reasons' to believe any god exists, not yours, not anyones.

Yours is a position of faith (and there's nothing wrong with that on a personal level. Whatever makes you happy). Ours is a position of not believing your claims (which are based on faith). The fact you are using 'god' in the singular, presuming that it is 'your' version of whatever god it is you believe speaks volumes and further reinforces why we don't believe the claims of theists regarding their god(s). For, naturally, what you say about there being 'good reasons' to believe your god is an exact carbon copy of what a Muslim would say about Allah, or a Hindu about (just one) Shiva (et al). We view all theistic claims as equally baseless. We do not hold any god above another.

That is a virtue, not a vice.
