Non-existent—for as you said yourself, "The rest of the philosophical community have long come to the conclusion that there are two positions on belief in God: theism and atheism. It fits with the classical laws of logic [...] There is no middle ground; only variations of the beliefs themselves, and how strongly one believes them."

Those who respond to the god claims with an honest "I don't know" are the indeterminate, not the "non-existent".
