It seems it comes down to seeing whether it's genuine knowledge or not. We can agree to disagree on that decision, but up to that decision, I think we should agree.
And this where I want to reach an agreement.
I don't think there is a 'right decision'.
I think a more rational stance when regarding belief in god would be I think is agnostic theist. Because we can't really know whether there is a god or not. I don't know, but at the same time I don't think there is such a thing. You don't know but are inclined to think that there is a god.
I don't think god (if there is one) would be insulted if you added a question mark to the idea. You're just being intellectually honest.
When I'm asked - "is there a god or isn't there" I have to answer - I don't know but at the same time don't think he does exist.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
