PS: i really try to believe you when you say you do not believe in God, but i cannot comprise what you mean then with 'God' (who learned you that word, were it foolish perhaps young people?)
If you do not believe in a personal god and admit you too are not sure what the word "god" is supposed to stand for, how can you object to people professing to have no belief in god?
To believe there is no god is more than is necessary to lack a belief in god. In the absence of a coherent definition -and having failed to find anything in myself that could be called a belief in gods- I answer the belief question in the negative. (Of course I also answer the knowledge question in the negative making agnostic as well.)
Why do you think your response of answering both yes and no to the belief question is better? What does that get you that you would recommend it to others?
