Hold on, if I believe in something and tell you so, am I not honest with you?

If I said that, it wasn't intentional. I specified that people have beliefs and faith. People saying that they know (as in, for a fact) something in this context are not being honest. Not necessarily maliciously, but literally no one on this planet actually knows any of this. I mean, unless they ARE God, and then I would ask them who or what created them. Then back to square one. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my rambling.

Alright. But I think there is a difference between knowing there is no god and knowing there is no god known by mankind because that's what I believe, of course I can't know if something is false if it's unflasifiable but I can analyse human history and it's patterns, how different cultures created their unique gods in isolation. To me that proves that this is a game of manipulation to control the people.

Yeah, I completely agree with the distinction you made.
