Well fuck you then!
Just kidding, kidding! Welcome to the forum!
What the others said. Of those definitions of God that are coherent, I do not claim absolute knowledge that the corresponding beings do not exist (and no one can). That's not how the word Atheism is used by most people, including famous authors like Dawkins who would never claim absolute knowledge that there is no God, either.
The proposition is just unnecessary (see Laplace) very implausible and for most concrete notions of a personal God in use today, contradicted by evidence
Might I add that I don't quite understand what the word supernatural means any more. If there's a new phenomenon that is discovered, what is done regularly is that our concept of nature gets extended, not the phenomenon dubbed "supernatural" which is a meaningless label in my eyes.
