I know that there are no gods. I expect someone to take me up on this claim.
Well, "I know that there are no gods" actually means "I am convinced that there are no gods", which means that something or some things have convinced you that there are no gods, in such a way that you have no doubt that there are no gods so you can say "it is so!" (and not, I think it is so). It hasn't anything to do with whether there are or not, gods. And it hasn't almost anything to do with knowledge.
"knowledge" is actually what is accepted to be true. The information that people have learnt and understand and remained in their minds, which is considered true, is called knowledge, whether the information is correct (true) or incorrect (false).
