If gods existence cannot be known(i.e proven) then the only logical conclusion is that he doesn't exist.
Same as unicorns, trolls, Russells teapot and Jesus.
Here we go yet again.
Logical fallacy .Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. IE A thing may not be said to be true because it has not been proved to be false,nor false because it has not been proven to be true.
There is no evidence for the existence of god(s) the soul, mountain trolls,unicorns, dragons or fairies at the bottom of my garden.That allows me to assert " I do not believe in such things due to lack of evidence" It does not allow me to assert "such things do not exist".
That a proposition may be unprovable and unfalsifiable is irrelevant to me.It means only that I may not make truth statements about such propositions.However, in the absence of evidence,I live AS IF such things do not exist.Nor do I waste my time arguing with apologists,although I confess to enjoying sniping and taking the piss.

Indeed.
