I know, in the sense that I am certain, that no gods exist (I may be wrong, but I’m not uncertain).
I do not assert that it is impossible for gods to exist.
Ta for asking.

I think most theists and those who misuse the word "agnostic" which was not a real word, but one Thomas Huxley horribly cobbled together to mean "split the baby".
I think there is no inconsistency in saying "I am an atheist" and at the same time admitting one can be wrong.
I'd say just on Occam's razor and law of probability, the necessity of a super cognition being a prime mover, or first cause is fleetingly unnecessary/superfluous. The idea that an all powerful super cognition is also an Orwellian idea.
If one wants to claim God is a possible reality sure, they can claim that. But I look at that being a reality at the same odds of this.
