Atheists take their own identity as an experience created by the mind but with no reality aside from that experience (as obviously we are not the physical brain or the body but those things from an Atheist perspective create the you).
Theists take their own identity as having spiritual existence and not simply an experience created by the mind. If you believe in the latter, then our own identity is proof of a supernatural world. The creator would be of this nature, a spirit.
So to know God, is essentially to recognize what you are. If you can recognize your spiritual substance and that you are not just an experience created by the mind with no reality beyond that, then you know God is likewise a spirit but one that is ultimate.
