If he is knowable, then it can be that, you are irrational for not knowing him, while people are rational for knowing him.

So it's not necessarily that you are taking the rational stance. It can be you are taking the irrational stance.

At the same time, saying even if God exists, he would not be knowable, is a grand claim in itself.

Thus it seems weak atheism is not all that rational as it's holders like to make out.

Whether or not God is knowable, it is still irrational to believe it exists without some sort of evidence.
