As opposed to the belief that the supernatural is probable.
So, you're a hard agnostic, then? You think that all gods are exactly 50% probable/their probability is indeterminate?
You have absolutely no reason to think that any of them are unlikely ... ?
Everything has to be probable or improbable unless it's exactly 50% or indeterminate. And indeterminate is effectively 50% because it means you have no reason to think it's likely or unlikely.
X or not X. Probable or not. You aren't a baby born without a God concept. Fair enough if you're ignostic about particular gods like me. But there are plenty of gods that are at the very least improbable. Some even impossible.

All choices are illusory at best.
