An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in gods, or a god. Until the concept of god/gods was invented, everyone was an atheist (didn't believe in a "god"). However, this is somewhat of a grey area as there wasn't an exact moment in time where the concept was invented; people have believed in deities or higher beings for thousands of years.

Not only can I not prove anything, but even if I could, I probably wouldn't. Yet I still know that god exists without any doubt whatsoever. So no, no evidence is forthcoming from me., not even if I had it. I'd keep it to myself.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Thinking If you have proof, enlighten us all with your knowledge. If you don't, why do you "know"?
