You need to know what it is you lack belief in. God has a definition, which you have to be aware of to be able to make any decision about it. Do you understand?!
Of course I have a position on God. I prefer the mortal superior position.
Seriously, what do you want Raph to say? That God/gods being such a poorly defined term, he has no idea if he has any beliefs in them as he doesn't know what the hell we're talking about? [Ignosticism]
Or perhaps you'd prefer that he say, given what reports have been received regarding what gods may be, nope, haven't seen any around here.
Of course god has a definition. Many in fact. Which shall we use?
How about we just say we have no belief so far as we can tell in anything remotely resembling any of the many descriptions of gods encountered so far? No belief that they don't exist. No belief that they do exist. No belief that any of them need to be consulted or considered in any matter. Seems to me one can say all these things without having a clue what you mean by gods.
