So you plan to prove your god's existence without making any references to empirically observable reality?
Or are you here to say you have witnessed proof that we cannot see for ourselves?

Nothing I said above entails disbelief in God. It just explains how someone can be an atheist about a claim they haven't yet refuted.
But is it really true? Karl Popper, a theist?
Wikipedia - Karl Popper
"In an interview that Popper gave in 1969 with the condition that it shall be kept secret until after his death, he summarized his position on God as follows: 'I don't know whether God exists or not. ... Some forms of atheism are arrogant and ignorant and should be rejected, but agnosticism—to admit that we don't know and to search—is all right.'"
