Actually you can't. In the case God is real and there is a link to him (a way of sensing him), then it definitely is not the most rational.

What I'm stating, is from the agnostic weak atheistic perspective, that possibility should remain open, and hence, it be admitted, that it's not necessarily the most rational position one is necessarily taking.

Note, it can be the most rational position the person feels they are taking, but it won't necessarily most rational possible position to take.

I can agree to what you said at the end. More of playing the middle ground when it's either one side or the other that is true. That said, how is picking either side with 100 percent certainty any more rational?
