Yeah, it’s called being agnostic. There is nothing wrong with it & I honestly think it makes more sense than claiming to know there is no God(s) or supernatural power. Heck, even Quantum Physics continually makes me consider the idea that we exist in infinite universes simultaneously, or that we could be 7 inception layers deep in some advanced computer simulation.
Personally, I say “there is no god”, because I also say “there is no pink space unicorn hiding behind Pluto”. I don’t know either for sure, but if a kid asks me and I start humming and hawing whether there might be pink space unicorns behind Pluto, then that sends entirely the wrong message.
So, the difference between agnosticism and atheism is pure semantics to me. I do not claim to know that there is no god. But I assume there is no god until proven otherwise.
