How can we be so arrogant to even consider that we may be able to answer the question "Is there a God" much less to form an opinion as to whether we believe in he/she/it. Our lack of knowledge about the nature of the universe almost demands that we remain open-minded. Saying that we are too ignorant to form a belief is not just hedging our bets, it is recognizing our reality.
In the case of your dollar wager, If I was forced to make it, I would flip a coin and let the chips fall where they may. Since so many that have come before have believed in some deity or another it seems like it is in our nature to want to invent a creator to explain away the unknown. I find it easy to imagine a universe with a god or without one but not strongly enough to form a belief one way or another. I am too ignorant and have little faith.
