Either God exists or does not exist, there is no possible third alternative. Just as either the Giants or the Royals could win the world series (Law of excluded middle). If you don't believe the Royals will win, you must believe the Giants will win, you have no choice in this dichotomy. Even if you never say "I believe the Giants will win", you inadvertently positively assert that position my claiming you don't believe the Royals will win.
You refuse to acknowledge the ultimate outcome of your hypothesis if your position is correct (i.e. God does not exist). However if God can exist, then atheism can be wrong, and this renders your position of atheism to a unscientific subjective philosophy and not a logical one.
You continually miss the point. There is no possibility other than a god exists or no god exists. But there are three states of knowledge. Existence, Non-Existence, Lack of Knowledge. If you can't see that, you just failed basic logic.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
