Since God is not of the natural world (he is supernatural), it is possible that his existence cannot be known even if every inch of our reality was examined. If this fact can potentially be unknowable, then "God does not exist" is not the null hypothesis. At best the default position is "we can't know".
And thus we are completely correct in assuming god doesn't exist.
And supernatural is a mealy mouthed term used by you theists to attempt to dodge the fact that you've currently no evidence, you never had any evidence, and that you know you never likely will have any evidence. The challenge is "show evidence for your position" not "talk mumbo jumbo until you fall over".
