mmm...no...
Some of us take it a step farther and go ignostic, which means that we don't just think it's impossible to know whether god exists, we think it's impossible to adequately define god in the first place (making it useless to consider whether it exists, since we have no clue what it is).
If "god" refers to any specific character from religious canon, then I am a gnostic atheist because those can actually be shown to not exist (either by holding contradictory qualities and/or being said to exist somewhere that we can actually go check).
If god simply refers to a "higher power," then EXACTLY what is that? What qualities does it have? What should it do? How does it affect physical reality? Unless you're talking about a specific god, there's really no way to know what you're talking about, much less whether it exists.
I may as well ponder whether The Winderhirdenboogen exists. What's that, you ask? Doesn't matter. It exists, and you can't prove it doesn't.

Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
