I'm a strong atheist: I believe that there are no gods. 

I will share some of my reasoning.

Can you please tell me if you think there is a difference between believing there are no gods to knowing there are no gods?   We'be been told a million times that God is outside of time and space and hence undetectable.
Which leads me to say that God is unknowable. Hence we CANNOT know that he doesn't exist.
The flip side obviously is that theists also cannot know.

To me, anyone who is certain that they know one way or the other is yanking his own chain...
If someone said to you that they know that fairies exist because they've seen them but only they can see them, would you take them seriously? That's how I feel about theists.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
