A valid answer, but boring.
Atheists could say "I don't know" about the question "Do deities exist?", but they instead choose to answer, "no" or "probably not" based on logic and contemporary evidence.
That's what I'm asking for now. I'm asking for everyone here to use logic and contemporary evidence to answer the question found in my original post. But if you still want to say "I don't know", then that's fine too.
Only just started reading the thread but I assume by now someone has enlightened you that an atheist -by definition- need not answer "no or probably not" to the "Do deities exist" - question. Your garden variety atheist just answers no to the "Do you believe gods exist" - question. To say more about something so poorly defined as gods is as much of an over-reach for atheists as is for theists' yes answer.
