Like not believing you have a $50 in your pocket equates to believing you DON'T have a fifty in your pocket...oh, wait, they're not exactly equivalent. Oh, dear.

What would be a better reason to think something doesn't exist than there being no evidence it does?
BTW, we'll probably have something pocket-sized and more than ten times as smart as a human in thirty years. If all it takes to be a god is smart, they'll be a dime-a-dozen before too long.

To pick a nit, not all agnostics are atheists. Many are theists.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
