So you now agree that we, as atheists, don't know(/ are unaware of) why we're atheists (/are unconvinced/don't believe in God) because we don't know(/ are unaware of) why experience hasn't led us to having any reasons (valid or invalid, rational or irrational, true or false reasons) or evidence (valid or invalid, rational or irrational, true or false evidence) for God to exist?
If you mean by 'knowledge' as in 'knowing' then yes I agree.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

What other kind of knowledge is there?
And, cool, my argument was a success.

Looks like we've just had another one of those moments again Evie. We really need to work on our communications.
Off to the strip club then is it?

I am an atheist because to date, no-one has yet presented me with any evidence or reasoned argument that has either sufficient proof or verisimilitude.
So yes, I do know why I am an agnostic atheist.

No. If you've got an argument for how you know why you're an atheist, please address post #19 on this thread because it refutes that claim, and I would like you to know that it does.
