@newjaninev2: The thing is, when there is no evidence for something or against something, you assume that it doesn't exist. You don't need evidence against something until you have evidence for something. (Basically, the proof that gods don't exist IS that there is no proof they do).
Also, there is no so-called "null state" with belief. You either believe or don't believe, there's no way, with anything, that you can both not believe and not not believe at the same time.
