My real point is that it is intellectually dishonest for atheists to say the "know" God doesn't exist because the put their faith in science, knowledge, yada yada, when in fact, nothing can be proven one way or the other. (Science is not only silent, but simply doesn't care why things are, only how they came to be.)
I concede that burden of proof for the existance of God is on believers, which I've addressed in many other posts.

Do you believe in the invisible purple llama?
I assume not.
Do you know that it doesn't exist?
I'm sure you do?
But can you prove it?
No.
So, you must therefore accept that you don't know if the invisible purple llama exists or not.
In a similar way, I don't "know" that God exists or not, but I would rank the possibility of Him/Her existing along side the possibility that there actually IS an invisible purple llama living under my bed.
So now you know what I, and all other atheists, mean when we say that we know God doesn't exist, so please lets not make an issue out of this absolute non-point.
