personally, i dont think you can know anything either way. maybe there's some god. maybe there's not. it's undecidable, and so is functionally irrelevant. chances are that whatever you think a god is comes from the way in which you project through the word "god"---maybe there are thousands. maybe there's nothing. you don't know either.
that you "believe" means only that you believe. it doesn't provide you any special ground to stand on. it doesn't really mean anything, except insofar as it helps you get through your life: it functions for you.
you are in no position to say anything about anything that is not clanging about inside your skull by way of the statement "i believe.."
it is of no consequence whether that position or an atheist's position or an agnostic's position is or is not grouped as a belief: your belief that it is a belief is also a belief.
we can go round and round about this endlessly.
it too is of no consequence.
