I think, 'how can you be sure that god doesn't exist?', is a much easier question to answer than, 'how can you be sure that god does exist?'
This is why a lot of us call ourselves agnostic atheists, because we don't have faith to fall back on, which is really just an old word for positive thinking.
And it doesn't really make sense to think positively about the existence of the absence of something.
So we just say, we don't know for sure, which would be refreshing to hear from a theist every once and a while. :-)
