Is the Atheism/Theism belief/disbelief a false dichotomy? are there other options?

Of course, once you get down to it, we aren't certain of anything except that "we" are experiencing "something". We can't be certain what "we" actually are, or what the "something" actually is. That's as far as certainty can possibly go. I am not certain anything I experience is real, I'm not even convinced it is. I just have to assume it is, and get on with it.

After this, we're down to beliefs. Very strong beliefs we would consider knowledge on an individual level; as a society, we consider knowledge to be that which can be demonstrated objectively beyond reasonable doubt and individual beliefs about it are irrelevant. So the "pool of knowledge" is different to what we individually claim we know. It doesn't really matter what we claim to know, if we can't demonstrate it to others.

I wouldn't worry too much. It sounds like you're generally an atheist. Atheist totally includes all the "doubt" areas. It is 2 of the 3 positions:

Are you convinced there is a god? Y/N
Are you convinced there is no god? Y/N

Y = theist
N, N, = weak atheist (uncertain/undecided/unknowable!)
N, Y = strong atheist

It could well be that you do have moments of theism, though. It's hard for me to say without looking into your brain Beliefs do change, and there's nothing in theory to stop them changing rapidly between two different things.

Could you convince someone that it's reasonable to believe in god? Is there enough objective evidence? If not, then you can be fairly sure your belief is not grounded in logic but rather in emotion. For one thing, can you even define god in such a way that it's possible to distinguish it from nothing at all?
