There is a middle ground...agnostic
Meaning that you don't have reason to believe either way. It's a more scientific position in that an agnostic seeks evidence of the existence of a God however is not prepared to dismiss God without evidence of non-existence.
I sort of like this approach...for when I die and I meet God, I will be able to say that now I have proof of your existence I am now a believer. God, being the forgiving chap that he is, will then admit me to Heaven.
The alternative, of course, is that when I die I will cease to exist and never know any better and never meet God because there is no God.
So either way...it's a winning strategy.
