You've nailed it, It doesn’t need to be complicated.

Q. 'Do you believe in god?'
A. 'I'm an agnostic.'
And immediately we have a disconnect, a non sequitur. It's an answer to a question that wasn't asked, why do people do this? For many years I was an agnostic atheist; it can't be known if god exists but I don't believe that god exists. Then one day on the road to Tesco's I had an epiphany. Of course it can be known! He can show up and do some god stuff, two thousand years and our man's still a no show. Well apart from pareidoliac* images on slices of toast, dogs arse's, wood panels and piss stains.

So I'm an atheist, and not a window dresser 6.9 recurring decimal atheist, I'm an all the way up to eleven gnostic atheist. I know 'God' does not exist.
And the screams are deafening, "But you can't prove that!"
No proof required, I am under no obligation to prove the non existence of an entity that cannot exist. The rules by which the universe operates proscribes such an entity. For example: the energy usage required to handle all the data that god constantly monitors of his seven billion currently active subjects would be so huge that it wouldn't need a small to medium hadron collider to detect, it would register on a £2.99 Aldi multimeter. He is also constantly monitoring and recording seven billion mind states @32 fps? you know, the soul? What's the point of having a soul if its not an accurate  record of everything we have ever experienced?
According to people who know things the memory capacity of the human brain is about a terabyte. Now supposing the Russians for whatever reason decide to explode a tzar bobma W over London Paris, we now have ~one million vaporized human beings. Every part of them + petabyte of memory is now a rapidly expanding cloud of plasma. Now according to people who claim to know things but don't, at the precise moment of their demise a snapshot of all these one million peoples lives is recorded so that they be reanimated in heaven. Or was it burn in hell? One million terabytes of data to defragment in a plank second?
Christians. Would you just pleeease fuck off!


* Not a real word apparently.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
