I do not claim this knowledge is absolute and unqualified as I do not believe in the possibility of such knowledge (the unknown unknowns can only be unknown) hence below some noise level, all such claims are agnostic. But within the limits of my instrumentation and within conventions of common discourse, I know there is no elephant in my refrigerator and know it is rational to believe there is/are God/gods.
The difference is that you have evidence that there is no elephant in your refrigerator but you have no evidence that there is any god.
Believing without evidence is not rational.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
