Considering how little we actually know about the nature of the universe, I think it's a bit premature to start writing off the concept of God entirely. If the universe is a simulation, for instance, which might never be proven one way or the other by us peons, its creator would be God by definition. It's entirely conceivable that there IS a God and He isn't even aware of humanity's existence. Now if it were possible to simulate an entire universe one would also imagine the ability to find organizations of information within it as well, but what if life and the silly little electromagnetic signals some of it produces are just not what He's looking for? Maybe He's only looking at the stars, which would make us low-level noise.
Anyway I'm not a fan of the whole concept of categorizing people based on their vote for one of Theist, Atheist, Don't Know. I'm a lot more concerned with my personal spirituality. Trying to pigeonhole people's beliefs has been responsible for more than one pointless religious war, when will we learn?

It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
