I would say I take the rational stance in disbelieving. If God popped out from under a cloud tomorrow and was plain to see then I'd say now the rational stance is belief. However my inital stance of disbelief was still rational, as at that time I had no evidence.

I've no idea what a God is supposed to be, and whether it is knowable or not if it existed. I'd have to have evidence of a God existing before I attributed morality to it.

Given the unfalsifiable/untestable nature of the God claim, I would say it is irrational to believe that this God definitely does not exist. It is also irrational to believe that it does. This all depends on the nature of the claim.
