Evidence for atheism

I'm confident in stating that the "god conclusion" is false. I'm explaining my confidence - thus, my confusion when others say "we cannot know" or, if you prefer, allowing the possibility of god on a technicality.

I say that we can know, and here's why

If p, then q
p
therefore q

That describes the rules.

If ants are 5 feet tall, then god
ants are 5 feet tall
therefore god.

The operator here, implied in the statement - in the very act of "doing logic" what makes it "true" -because ants are 5 feet tall, god-

What happens when I mention that ants are, in fact, not 5 feet tall?

If you attempt to conclude that by that virtue, god does not exist, you are committing a formal fallacy.
