Full disclosure, I identify as an agnostic because I know it is impossible to prove the non-existence of a god whose description includes invisibility and inscrutability. However, I am functionally an atheist, because I rate the probability of God's existence at vanishingly small; practically nil. I tentatively reached this conclusion an an early age, and a lifetime of studying science has only reinforced it. Science reveals that no supernatural force is required to explain everything we see in nature. And virtually everything reported to be supernatural is found to be either a deceptive fraud or completely unsubstantiated claim.
