Since I attack religion for "knowing" I have to do the same on the other side.

Leo, what makes you so sure there isn't a God?

 My own, personal, complete rejection of anything metaphysical. I even go as far as rarely using the verb "believe", and never using the word "soul" because it has no meaning for me.
The two worlds, the physical and the metaphysical, by definition should be totally and utterly separated. There could never be any contact between the two.

Also, while on one hand I do love and participate in humanity's quest for knowledge, on the other hand I do not agree to the postulate that every creation must have a Creator.

Did that answer your question? Any follow ups?

 I'm not sure it did.  Don't you think there is a possibility, no matter how small, that you are wrong and that there is a God?

 I don't think there is. What I've postulated pretty much excludes it. If I have to admit the possibility that there is a God, then I have to do the same for unicorns, fairies, comic book characters, Santa Clause and so on...
I don't see it as "being wrong" or "being right", I've been accused of arrogance but I don't think that's it. Theists and atheists come from opposite postulates, that's all.
