Knowledge of the existence of God or anything else appears to me to be such an unimportant concept it is hardly worth mentioning. I would not even say that belief about the existence or not of God is a particularly important concept either.
I would say that the position that god does not exist seems to me to be worthy of greater prioritisation as a basis for thought and debate about politics, philosophy, personal relationships, and other areas of life than the position of uncertainty (for want of a better description) or the position that God does exist.
By prioritisation I mean I tend to spend more of my time thinking about these areas on the basis of the assumption that god does not exist than on the basis of the assumption that he does exist or the lack of knowledge or belief about him. But thought operates on different levels, we all have different mind states at different times. To be consistent in one's position is not an attainable goal as far as I can see.
