I'm not lending any credence to any god-claim. Indeed, I've explicitly stated that I reject every one I've learned. My opinion, though, is not fact, and I don't make the mistake of thinking that it is.
However, knowledge is always tentative, and subject to revision based on new information or evidence.
The reason why I think you're wrong is that there are many more iterations of god-concepts than merely the Abrahamic. Calling them all "identical" isn't really accurate. That's not to say I accept any of them -- I don't. But until I've examined them myself, a positive disposition is overstepping what I know. I know that the Abrahamic god is horseshit due to internal contradictions. I cannot disprove a deist god with this reasoning, though. I can't imagine what others might think of as god, either. So I say I'm an agnostic atheist: I don't know certainly about every god-claim, but I don't believe in gods because in my experience they all lack evidence.
