You're confusing the rejection of a claim with believing the opposite of a claim is true. I don't believe there is no god. I believe that the burden of proof for god's existence has not been met.
And yes, our mind's are quite limited. But if our mind's are so limited, why do you believe that your mind has correctly led you to the conclusion that god exists and is necessary? Isn't entirely possible that the universe is explainable by natural means and your brain just isn't capable of understanding that?
I don't believe that my life can be entirely explained by science, but I refuse to fill those gaps in knowledge with an unproven hypothesis. There is much mystery to life, but I am content with that. It is up to you to demonstrate that god exists and is the answer to that mystery. If you cannot, which no one has been able to, I will continue refusing to accept the existence of god.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
