I specifically asked about a belief or disbelief, not about what you claim to know or don't know. Do you understand the difference between knowledge and belief?
I also do not claim to know that there is no god, as I also am not all knowing. Atheism is not a position about knowledge, it is a position concerning belief.
In fact, the vast majority of atheists do not claim to know there is no god. This even applies to guys like: Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Matt Dillahunty, and all the most famous atheists. None of them claim to know that a god does not exist.
I am asking what you believe or disbelieve.
Are you convinced that a god exists?
Not really a big error. The believers like to claim that atheism is a claim that no gods exist. It simply is not. As an atheist, I believe in no gods. Nobody has ever shown one to exist. Could I be convinced that a god exists? Sure, just as soon as somebody rocks up with actual evidence. Until that happens, why should I believe in any god? That would be stupid.
