But do you live you life as though there isn't a god or as though there is? If it's the former then, for all practical purposes, you are asserting that there isn't a god, (with, of course, the proviso, that you may turn out to be wrong. In that sense your "knowledge" that there isn't a god is contingent, just like all other empirical knowledge).
