I don't believe in God (of any description) because I have no reason to. That's about as simple as my position can get. Everything I've encountered either has a more reasonable explanation than "God did it", or it has no explanation, and in that case "God did it" is worse than no explanation because it denies greater understanding.

I also don't have reason to believe God (of some description other than the God of the Old Testament) doesn't exist. So I don't believe that either. There might be a transcendental God who created the universe then had no further involvement at all; that's possible, and impossible to verify or disprove. That puts me in the weak atheist/agnostic atheist camp.
