I agree, either P1 is true or not true. Those are the only possibilities.

My position on the truth values of P1 is, I don't know, with absolute certainty, if it is true or not. This defines me as agnostic.

My position on theist's claim that P1 is true, is I do not believe it, since I don't find that they have met their burden of proof. This defines me as an atheist.

But just because I do not believe gods exist, does not mean I am claiming that they don't exist. Only that I currently have no justification to believe they do.

I'm waiting for the day when option 3 arises... God used to exist but no longer does.
