I'm ignostic, meaning I reject the question of Gods as meaningless until I've received more details. It can mean literally anything. So I say I'm an atheist to keep things simple, but really, this is just a pre-emptive position. Some people call the universe "God". So yes, that "God" exists. Well done. You see what I mean.
Regarding a generic intelligent creator, who doesn't necessarily have any interest in us, or even knows we are self aware, I see no evidence but I think it's an open question.
Regarding the highly specific "gods" described in religious literature, I consider the probability that they accurately represent anything real to be negligible.
It makes the whole thing much simpler when I state that I don't care, beyond scientific curiosity. I'm not interested in worshipping anything or joining cults. It makes no practical difference to me whether this is a created reality or not. (However, I do care about the harm done in the name of religion, which is why I spend so much time talking about it.)
