If you want to get really anal, you could argue that since there’s also no proof that there isn’t a god, agnosticism would be the real logical conclusion. Perhaps some sort of god not matching any particular religion simply made a physics engine and set up the reactions that led to the big bang and everything from there happened on its own. Or perhaps not.

Proving a negative is logically impossible: however it is quite bonkers to believe in some sort of all-powerful being if it does not manifest itself in any way, shape or form. Technically, I am agnostic as well, as I cannot say there is no god with mathematical certainty; yet practically, I live my life as though there is no god (haven’t seen any evidence) and I’m an atheist.

EDIT: also see the Teapot argument as described by Nillo.
